Effects of Vitamin K on Lower-extremity Function in Adults With Osteoarthritis:
The overall goal of this pilot randomized trial is to obtain necessary prerequisite data to conduct a randomized controlled intervention to test the effect of vitamin K supplementation on knee osteoarthritis progression and related functional decline. To address critical parameters required to design this larger RCT, we will conduct a double-blind, 2-armed, parallel-group intervention study, with a placebo run-in, in which 50 adults with mild to moderate knee OA and low baseline vitamin K status will be randomly assigned to 1 mg phylloquinone/day or matching placebo, and treated for 6 months. Specifically, we will: (1) compare the...

Efficacy of Intra-articular Injections for the Treatment of Primary Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis(GHOA)
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of intra-articular corticosteroid injections versus platelet-rich plasma injections for non-operative treatment of primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The efficacy of intra-articular injections, outside of hyaluronic acid, for the treatment of glenohumeral OA is not known, yet these treatments are commonly used with hopes of providing patients with symptomatic relief that can hopefully delay or prevent the need for shoulder arthroplasty. This study will help elucidate the therapeutic benefit of corticosteroid and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections in this patient population.

Efficacy of M640 in Acute Lumbosacral Musculoskeletal Conditions.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a modification to metaxalone 640 mg can reduce low back and leg pain. The participants will be 18 to 80 years old, healthy with newly occurring back or leg pain. The main question aims to compare a group taking active treatment and a group taking a look-alike substance containing no active treatment. All participants will answer questions on Day 1, before treatment, and on 7-day after treatment, about: - Amount and quality of pain - Interference with physical activity - Interference with sleep

Electroencephalogram Recording in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) often experience a frustrating decline of their cognitive skills that includes considerable problems in attention, learning, and memory. This lupus-related cognitive dysfunction (termed SLE-CD) is recognized as the most prevalent of the nineteen neuropsychiatric SLE syndromes, as it affects up to 80% of patients and can significantly decrease their quality of life. The goal is to have tools that can be used for diagnosis and for monitoring responses after targeted interventions and therapies. This study will focus on electroencephalographic (EEG) signals, which will be detected ...

Empowered Relief for Youth
The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of Empowered Relief for Youth with chronic pain (ER-Y). ER-Y is a single-session pain management class for youth focused on pain science education and teaching self-regulatory skills for pain management based on the evidence-based adult ER class. Feasibility and acceptability of ER-Y will be assessed post-class. Preliminary efficacy will be assessed by administering surveys at baseline, 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks post class.

Engagement in CHildhood-Onset Systemic Lupus
The goal of this observational and pilot study is to better understand how depression symptoms may contribute to how well adolescent and young adults with lupus follow-up with their lupus clinical care. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Whether anhedonia (a core symptom of depression) predicts disengagement in care 2. Whether a patient-tailored mobile health application built to improve both engagement in care and depression symptoms will be feasible and acceptable to adolescents and young adults with lupus. Participants with systemic lupus, ages 15-24 from the Bronx, New York will be asked to ...
