Oxandrolone

This study is part of the HEAL Initiative supported by the NIH. The purpose of this study is to learn how safe the study drug, SBS-147, is and how people's bodies respond to and process it. Researchers will also look for any side effects that may occur when taking SBS-147. Some participants will receive SBS-147, and others will receive a placebo, which looks the same but does not contain any medicine. This helps researchers fairly compare results. The study includes two parts: Single-Dose Group, where Participants receive SBS-147 or placebo one time. Multiple-Dose Group, where Participants receive SBS-147 or placebo once or twice daily for 7 days.

This project is a single-site, two-arm, randomized controlled trial investigating whether providing patients in an orthopedic clinic waiting room an audio-recorded mindfulness practice decreases their pain relative to an injury management control condition.

This is a feasibility pilot test of a single-arm intervention to evaluate the beta version of an mHealth app-based behavioral intervention prior to scaling for a randomized controlled trial (RCT). This mHealth intervention is designed to enhance self-efficacy and support pain and symptom self-management among post-treatment cancer survivors.

The objectives of this study are as follows: Primary Objective * To determine the rate of weight regain in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PWH) receiving semaglutide microdosing vs. no additional drug following induction therapy. Secondary Objectives * To evaluate the tolerability of semaglutide microdosing in adults with HIV. * To evaluate changes in weight, waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) over 12 weeks (W) of semaglutide weight loss induction and 48 W of semaglutide microdosing therapy.

This is a multi-visit which will collect MRI (pictures of the brain) and EEG (brain waves) data to determine changes in brain connectivity and brain activity for memory formation and pain perception while receiving the commonly-used anesthetic agents ketamine and propofol, both alone and in combination.

This is a single-arm functional MRI study that will determine the effects of remimazolam on cognition and brain activity and connectivity at rest, during noxious stimulation, and during a memory encoding task

This is a single-center, pilot randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the feasibility of a definitive trial comparing opioid-free discharge prescriptions to usual care (which includes opioids) in patients undergoing major orthopaedic surgery. The main objective is to inform the design and feasibility of the definitive RCT.

This study investigates how the anticipation of pain affects muscle synergies. Two groups will be compared: an experimental group, who first experience actual pain from capsaicin cream and are then presented with a harmless cream deceptively labeled as capsaicin, against a control group, who are presented with a harmless cream labeled as potentially painful, without any prior painful experience. The changes in muscle synergies will be measured during walking tasks.

This prospective, randomized, 2-period crossover study seeks to evaluate the effect of the non-visual immersive technology-based audio biofeedback intervention, delivered through devices such as NOICE device or Quest 3, on cold pain threshold within participants.

The goal of this single-center, pragmatic, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled trial is to evaluate the impact of intravenous (IV) lidocaine within the existing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)program on outcomes in patients after major abdominal surgery. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: The primary hypothesis is that utilization of IV lidocaine as part of a perioperative multimodal pain regimen will result in a reduction in hospital Case Mix Index-Adjusted Resource Length of Stay (CARLOS). The secondary hypotheses are that lidocaine infusion will result in a reduction in total inpatient opioid consumption (oral morphine milligram equivalents, oMMEs) and pain scores, and improved surgical outcomes (including return of bowel function, ileus, nausea, rapid responses called, surgical site infections, and ICU transfers), while also having minimal incidence of side effects (including double/blurry vision, tinnitus, sedation, and adverse events requiring early cessation).

Chronic abdominal pain is common among children, and the majority of cases are attributed to functional abdominal pain disorders. One approach to treating these disorders is by using psychological therapies. This clinical trial aims to see how well pre-recorded guided imagery therapy sessions help children's abdominal pain when delivered via a mobile application (app) on a smartphone or tablet. Participants will complete a baseline abdominal pain and stooling diary to determine eligibility, as well as other surveys. Eligible participants will be given access to the guided imagery therapy mobile application. This intervention asks participants to listen to a 10- to 15-minute GIT session 5 out of 7 days per week for 8 weeks, in addition to their usual care for their abdominal pain. Then, participants will complete another abdominal pain and stooling diary, along with other psychometric surveys, at the end of this intervention period. Participants will also collect another diary and surveys 3 months post-treatment.

Multi-center, randomized, blinded, sham-controlled study to determin the safety and efficacy of the NOVABLOC system on post-operative pain in patients undergoing TKA procedures.
