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.

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of a Virtual Reality (VR) application computer simulation \[(CS) VR Mindful Meditation App')\] versus music relaxation in reducing anxiety and pain in women undergoing breast biopsies. Participants will be randomized into three groups: VR, music relaxation, or standard care. Anxiety and pain will be measured using validated scales, and an optional physiological marker may be collected to assess stress levels. Participants will also be asked about their satisfaction with the intervention received, along with procedure-specific questions.

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 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.

Older adults who are 50 years of age and older with depressive symptoms, pain and difficulty with mobility will participate in the SPARK intervention study that includes 8 nurse visits in participants' homes to help participants with participants' pain and mood.

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.

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.

This will be a single-center, sham-controlled, 3 arms, randomized (1:1:1) prospective study in females undergoing cesarean delivery to investigate the impact of NeuroCuple™ non-pharmacological analgesic device for management of postoperative pain. The investigators hypothesize that women treated with the Neurocuple device will experience less pain and consequently require less opioid pain medication after cesarean delivery compared to women who receive standard post-surgical medication.

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out which type of steroid medicine, when added to a standard pain-control injection during total knee replacement surgery, works best at reducing pain, limiting opioid use, and improving recovery in adults undergoing surgery for severe knee arthritis or injury. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does adding a steroid to the injection improve pain control and reduce opioid use after surgery? Is the newer extended-release steroid (Zilretta) more effective and safer-especially for patients with diabetes-than the traditional steroid (methylprednisolone)? Researchers will compare: Standard pain-control injection alone Standard injection plus methylprednisolone Standard injection plus Zilretta to see which option provides better pain relief, less opioid use, and improved knee function. (Patients with diabetes or prediabetes will only be in the standard injection or Zilretta groups so researchers can study whether Zilretta is safer for blood sugar control.) Participants will: Be randomly assigned to one of the study groups during their total knee replacement surgery Receive the assigned pain-control injection around the knee joint Be followed after surgery to measure: Pain levels Opioid pain medication use Knee movement (range of motion) Whether another procedure (such as manipulation under anesthesia) is needed if the knee becomes too stiff Patient-reported outcome surveys about pain and function
