Triamcinolone Ketorolac (TriKe) Knee Trial
Cortisone injections are commonly used in the treatment of osteoarthrosis of the knee, but there are known detriments to cortisone including localized tissue atrophy near the injection site and acceleration of joint degeneration, as well as contraindications, such as uncontrolled diabetes. Ketorolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory with decades of clinical data that is most commonly injected intramuscularly. There is rising interest in using ketorolac as an intra-articular injectant substitute or adjunctive to cortisone. This may potentially improve clinical outcomes or decrease adverse effects. Although intra-articular use of ketorolac is increasing in orthopedics and sports...

Trigger Point Injection for Myofascial Pain Syndrome in the Low Back: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Rationale: Low back pain (LBP), or myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) of the low back, accounts for approximately 2.63 million visits in the United States, or 2.3 percent of annual Emergency Department (ED) visits. An estimated 100 billion dollars per year is lost from LBP. Approximately one-third of this is direct costs. Previous studies have established the safety of trigger point injections (TPI). However, the results of these studies are highly heterogeneous regarding TPI's ability to treat pain or improve functional outcomes. The two most promising TPI studies conducted in the ED have been published in the last two years. They both suffered from a small sample size. Additionally,...

Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole vs. Clindamycin for the Treatment of Children With Invasive MRSA Infections
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) works to treat invasive infections due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in children. It will also learn about the safety of TMP-SMX in the treatment of children with invasive MRSA infections. The main questions it aims to answer are: -Is TMP-SMX effective at successfully treating children with invasive infections due to MRSA? What are the side effects of TMP-SMX in children taking it for invasive infections due to MRSA? Researchers will compare TMP-SMX to a clindamycin (a commonly prescribed antibiotic for the treatment of MRSA in children) to see if TMP-SMX works...

tVNS in Long COVID-19
A prior open label study has shown that transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation [tVNS] can improve the health of some patients with postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), severely affected enough to also fulfill criteria for myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The purpose of this study is to compare two sets of stimulus parameters to determine the one that best improves the health-related quality of life of these patients over a period of 6-weeks. Patients using their assigned device for at least 30 of the 42 possible opportunities will receive the best device for an additional 6-week period.

Two-period Crossover Study to Demonstrate the Comparability of Pharmacokinetics of Subcutaneous Ianalumab Between 2mL Auto-injector/2mL PFS with1mL Pre-filled Syringe in Adult Participants With Autoimmune Disease
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the comparability of ianalumab exposure following the sub-cutaneous (s.c.) administration of one injection of 300 mg/2 mL auto-injector (AI) versus two injections of 150 mg/1 mL pre-filled syringe (PFS), and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ianalumab following the s.c. administration of both devices in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjögren's disease (SjD), or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A second cohort will be included with the objective of demonstrating the comparability of pharmacokinetics of ianalumab between 1 x 2 mL Pre-filled Syringe (PFS) and 2 x 1 mL PFS.

UC-MSC Cell Therapy Study for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of UC-MSCs in adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Can UC-MSCs improve kidney function and reduce SLE disease activity? 2. Are UC-MSCs safe and well-tolerated in this patient population? Participants in this study will: - Receive UC-MSCs in a single dose in addition to standard of care treatment. - Provide blood and urine samples for laboratory assessments, including biomarkers and immune profiling (e.g., cytokines, complement proteins, and autoantibodies). - Attend regular clinic visits for physical exams,...

Unhide® Project: A Digital Health Platform to Collect Lifestyle Data for Brain Inflammation Research
The unhide® Project is a non-interventional, longitudinal research study designed to establish a secure data repository of demographic, health, and lifestyle information from individuals with brain inflammation and related neuroinflammatory conditions. Participants in the United States aged 2 years and older will provide self-reported health data, biometrics, and symptom diaries through the MyDataHelps™ app (branded as unhide® for this study). The goal is to create comprehensive longitudinal profiles to facilitate research into disease subtypes, causes, diagnostics, and potential treatments, as well as to identify potential participants for future optional studies....

Upper and Lower Extremity Exercise and Exercise-Induced Hypoalgesia in Knee Osteoarthritis
The objective of the study is to explore the effects of arm exercise (UE, arm ergometer) vs. leg exercise (LE, cycling ergometer) on exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH), central pain mechanisms and knee pain in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Furthermore, we will explore relations of socioeconomic status, racial discrimination, acculturative stress, and autonomic function to exercise effects on EIH, central pain mechanisms, and knee pain. This will be a pilot randomized cross-over study where all participants undergo Day 1 (baseline assessments), Day 2 (UE or LE), and Day 3 (UE or LE).
