Reducing Hypertension Disparities in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a autoimmune disease associated with an increased risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD) and premature death, particularly in Black patients. Traditional CAD risk factors like hypertension (HTN) are both very common and poorly controlled among Black RA patients. Disparities in RA disease activity further increase the risk of CAD in this population. Black patients face significant barriers when seeking RA care, and the investigators suspect similar challenges affect HTN care in this population. The goals of this project are to identify and address barriers to HTN care in patients with RA to...

Reducing Perioperative Oxidative Stress to Prevent Postoperative Chronic Pain Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial that will assess preoperative, perioperative, and long-term oxidative stress (OS); pain; and functional outcomes over a 12 month period and test the hypothesis that a potent antioxidant intervention (glycine + N-acetyl-cysteine(GlyNAC)) reduces oxidative stress and chronic post surgical pain (CPSP) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Remote Tai Chi for Knee Osteoarthritis
The goal of this pragmatic randomized trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of remote Tai Chi to treat knee pain in adults with knee osteoarthritis. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: - Does remote Tai Chi improve the extent to which pain interferes with physical, mental, and social activities (PROMIS-Pain Interference at 3 months, primary outcome), as well as knee pain and function (WOMAC subscales) and analgesic use (secondary outcomes) - Does remote tai chi decreases healthcare utilization? Researchers will compare remote Tai Chi added to routine care to routine care alone to see if ...

Steps Towards Osteoarthritis Prevention
Optimal knee joint loading, which refers to the forces acting on the knee caused by daily activities such as daily steps, plays an essential role in maintaining knee articular cartilage health and reducing the risk of osteoarthritis (OA). After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), individuals take fewer daily steps as compared to uninjured controls resulting in insufficient knee joint loading to joint tissues, but it is unclear how changes in daily steps impact knee joint cartilage health in OA development. Therefore, the overall single arm, longitudinal pre-test post-test study objective is to determine the mechanistic...

Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) for Knee Post-Trauma Osteoarthritis (PTOA)
This is a prospective, non-randomized, interventional, dual site, before-after clinical trial to determine feasibility and safety of a single injection of autologous Adipose Derived (AD) Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) for the treatment of knee Post Traumatic Osteoarthritis (PTOA).

Studying Melatonin and Recovery in Teens
The goal of this feasibility clinical trial is to learn if melatonin can help teens having spinal fusion surgery by promoting healthy sleep. Melatonin is available as a dietary supplement that may be effective in promoting longer, higher quality sleep. This study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of melatonin for teens undergoing spinal fusion surgery, as well as determine optimal measured outcomes (sleep, pain, health-related quality of life) at short- and long-term follow-up.
