Analysis of video encounters between providers, patients, and families will be used to develop a shared decision making tool for patients deciding between surgery and observation for scoliosis treatment.
This is a survey to help understand the influences related to the decision for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis treatment (observation vs. bracing vs. surgery). The investigator then plans to create a decision aid to help families when making a decision about the treatment choice being presented to them.
The goal of the Shoulder iD™ Primary Reversed Glenoid Outcomes Clinical Study is to collect safety and performance data on the commercially available Shoulder iD™ Primary Reversed Glenoid device. The study will learn about standard device use in adult patients who have a functional deltoid muscle and massive and non-repairable rotator cuff tear. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the average improvement in patient-reported shoulder function after 2 years when compared to before the surgery, and - What is the rate of surgical revisions needed over a 10 year period Patients will be asked to will...
This is a Phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of sildenafil in men and women with Scleroderma with mildly elevated pulmonary pressures (SSc-MEP) to determine whether sildenafil may be an effective treatment for SSc-MEP.
Single blinded PRP vs. Corticosteroid vs. Placebo (normal saline) intra-articular injection for basal joint arthritis.
The purpose of this study is to systematically, prospectively compare surgical fusion techniques for thoracolumbar spinal fusion patients and assess long-term patient outcomes and revision rates following surgery.
Insomnia affects 67-88% of chronic pain patients. SPIN II is a randomized controlled clinical trial that will compare the effects of two cognitive behavioral sleep treatments in women with fibromyalgia and insomnia. This trial will yield important information about the roles of sleep, arousal, and brain structure and function in the development and maintenance of chronic pain in women with fibromyalgia.
This study involves patients who will be undergoing a reverse total shoulder replacement at Duke University. 100 eligible will be randomly assigned into one of two groups, a sling or no sling group. Patients in the sling group will wear a sling for three weeks after their surgery while the no sling group will only wear a sling three days after their surgery. Patients will follow their doctors normal follow up visit schedule after surgery, with visits at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years.
The SMR Stemless Reverse is intended for total, primary shoulder joint replacement by reducing pain and restoring shoulder articular mobility function. This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled trial to demonstrate non-inferiority of the SMR Stemless Reverse to the SMR Reverse Shoulder System. Patients with joint dysfunction who continue to experience significant symptoms despite an appropriate course of non-operative management are eligible. Patients will be considered enrolled into the study when an ICF has been signed, all inclusion criteria are met and no exclusion criteria are present including intraoperative...
Solve Together is a platform designed to collect clinical data about post-infectious diseases, including ME/CFS and Long Covid. This data is made available to researchers and will be used to identify participants eligible for clinical studies. The platform also empowers patients to make reports for their doctors, connect medical records and/or a health-tracking wearable device, and identify their unique symptoms and health patterns.
