Effects of Home Base Whole-body Vibration in Osteoarthritis. (VIBE-Rx2)
The purpose of this proposal is to understand how the Vibrant Health Ultimate whole-body vibration (WBV) machine affects pain and inflammation in older adults. The investigators' hypothesize that sub-acute (12 weeks) WBV will lead to improvement in the level of knee pain and improve vascular function via a decrease in systemic inflammation.

Effects of taVNS on Fibromyalgia Pain
Transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a newer delivery system, using a non-invasive stimulation device placed at the ear's concha. TaVNS is a portable, safe, and low-cost intervention, and according to some studies, taVNS may influence nociception and pain perception, which can lead to potential applications for various painful illnesses, including fibromyalgia (FM). This trial aims to investigate the clinical effects of taVNS on pain control in FM subjects.

Efficacy of a Criteria Based Clinical Pathway for Rehabilitation of Shoulder Injuries
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the current standard of care for rehabilitation of non-operative shoulder injuries to a novel, criteria-based approach (CRISP). Additionally, this study will identify factors which contribute to return to duty readiness. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are there differences in patient reported outcomes between participants who undergo the criteria-based rehabilitation program versus the standard of care for shoulder injuries? - Are there differences in clinical measures (strength, etc.) between participants who undergo the criteria-based rehabilitation program versus the standard of care for ...

Elucidating the Central Mechanisms of Action for Green Light Therapy in Managing Chronic Pain
Investigators have previously shown that specific colors of light can alter nociception. Green light emitting diode exposure (GLED) provides long-lasting antinociception in rodents, through the visual system. No adverse effects were noted, and motor performance was not impaired. Investigator clinical trials have shown GLED is also effective in decreasing pain intensity of fibromyalgia patients and decreasing the number of headache-days per month in migraine patients. However, investigators do not yet understand the mechanisms by which GLED reduces pain. Understanding the mechanisms of action of GLED will provide additional support for using light therapy as both a treatment and...

Evaluation of Superiority of Valsartan+Celecoxib+Metformin Over Metformin Alone in Type 2 Diabetes Patients
Evaluation of safety, tolerability and superiority of RK-01, a valsartan plus celecoxib dual add-on to metformin-HCL XR over metformin in newly diagnosed and obese adult type 2 diabetes patients with high blood pressure, arthritis and inadequate glycemic control with metformin monotherapy, diet and exercise over 26 weeks of treatment. Objective: To assess effect of RK-01 on HbA1c levels, beta cell function and insulin resistance with co-administration of valsartan, celecoxib and metformin-HCl XR relative to metformin monotherapy. Hypothesis: After 26 weeks of treatment with valsartan, celecoxib and metformin-HCl XR provides greater improvements in glycemic, inflammatory and...
