A Clinical Trial to Evaluate Safety of Gusacitinib in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) or Lupus
Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), also called lupus, is a disease that causes the body s immune system to attack healthy tissue. Lupus causes swelling and inflammation in the skin, skin, joints, kidneys, brain, blood vessels, and other organs. There is no cure for lupus. Current treatments do not help everyone and may have adverse effects. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a study drug (Gusacitinib) in people with lupus. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with lupus. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and...

ACP Max™ PRP System for Knee Osteoarthritis: A Feasibility Trial
This study is a prospective, multicenter (up to 4 sites), randomized, double-blind, two-arm study. Forty-five (45) patients will be randomized to receive a single 4-6 ml intra-articular (IA) injection of either the output of ACP Max™ (n=30) or 6 ml of Depo-Medrol® (methylprednisolone acetate) (n=15).

A Multiple Component Mobile-aid Pain Reduction Intervention to Decrease Myofascial Pain
The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot test a newly developed multiple component mobile-aid pain reduction intervention (MCMAPRI) and the feasibility of implementing this intervention in adult patients with myofascial pain syndrome of the low back. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are the effects of the MCMAPRI intervention on reducing levels of myofascial pain in adult patients with myofascial pain syndrome of the low back? - What is the feasibility for implementing the MCMAPRI intervention in adult patients with myofascial pain syndrome of the low back? Participants will be randomly...

Application of N-of-1 Rheumatoid Arthritis
The goal of this N-of-1 study is to learn about treatment for individual patients who have rheumatoid arthritis (RA,) for which many treatments are available. The treatments are different in how they work, the way they are given, side- effects, and cost. While treatment guidelines are available, finding the best treatment order of treatments is often based on physician choice. The main question this study aims to answer are: - What are the effects of different treatments on RA symptoms and condition for each individual patient - What is the effectiveness of different treatments across all patients enrolled in the ...

A Study of TAK-007 in Adults With Refractory Lupus Nephritis (LN)
The main aim of the study is to learn how well adults with refractory lupus nephritis (LN) tolerate TAK-007 and to check for side effects (adverse events). Other aims are to learn how effective treatment with TAK-007 is in adults with refractory LN, what effects TAK-007 has on the human body, and whether participants will produce antibodies against TAK-007.

Autologous Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (AdMSCs) for Osteoarthritis
This is a phase 2 open-label, 6 arms (1 study group and 1 control group for each joint category), randomized control group clinical study with 300 subjects diagnosed with osteoarthritis of knees (n=100), hips (n=100) and shoulders (n=100). The study subjects will be evaluated for disease-associated severity according to symptoms, such as pain, mobility, daily active life, and functions using arthritis society established specific measurement tools related to the joints (KOOS and KSS for OA-knees: HOOS and HHS for OA-hips and ASES and CSS for OA-shoulders).

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate Versus Triamcinolone Injection For Hip Osteoarthritis
This is a single site, randomized single blinded, two arm study researching the effects of bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) versus Triamcinolone in patients with hip osteoarthritis. The aims and hypothesis are as follows: Specific Aim 1: Evaluate the change in pain and functional scores of a single bone marrow aspirate injection in comparison to triamcinolone in patients with hip osteoarthritis through validated patient reported outcomes scores at baseline to 12 months (6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months). Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that triamcinolone and BMAC groups will have pain reduction...

Chromatic Retinal Stimulation to Reduce Chronic Pain and Pain Sensitivity
Participants with chronic pain conditions including chronic low back pain and fibromyalgia may benefit from light stimuli presented to the retina to reduce chronic pain severity and pain sensitivity. Participants will be recruited into this study and will be presented with one of three uniform light stimuli via a wide-field ganzfeld in three conditions to determine the retinal mechanisms that reduce pain. This work will lead to a greater understanding of retinal mechanisms that contribute to pain and will assist the design of future studies to harness the potential of light based pain therapies.

Comparative Effectiveness of Two Different Approaches to Radiofrequency Ablation of Lumbar Medial Branch Nerves
The purpose of this voluntary research study is to determine whether the parasagittal approach to lumbar medial branch (LMB) nerve radio frequency ablation (RFA) will have greater efficacy than the traditional approach to lumbar medial branch nerve radio frequency ablation.
