Understanding Cognition, Oxytocin & Pain in Elders
Osteoarthritis (OA) represents a significant cause of disability worldwide and the knee is the most commonly affected joint. Oxytocin (OT) is a mediator of endogenous analgesia in animal and human studies. This proposal will test the efficacy and safety of self-administered intranasal OT over 4-weeks in older individuals relative to placebo (P) evaluating its effects on pain and function in aging and testing potential underlying neurobiological mechanisms.

Use of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Augment Hypnotic Analgesia
The investigators plan to use functional neuroimaging (fMRI) to understand the brain systems affected when hypnosis and hypnotic analgesia are augmented with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a form of non-invasive brain stimulation to 100 people with fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition. The investigators will measure the effect of rTMS-augmentation on the brain networks underlying hypnotizability, as well as the effect of rTMS-augmentation on hypnotic analgesia networks. The investigators hope to demonstrate that a combination of these psychological and neuromodulatory treatments will be more effective than hypnosis...

Using Intraoperative Sensing Technology to Evaluate Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty
This study will attempt to draw relationships between the soft-tissue related complications contributing to early TKA revision and the loading and positional patterns from intraoperative tibial trial sensors. The data from the sensors may enable the surgeon to address such soft-tissue abnormalities that may otherwise be unknown during traditional total knee revision procedures. The utilization of sensors should in theory, help diagnose the potential causes attributing to soft-tissue imbalance and may lead to a decreased need for an all component revision. Furthermore, the economic implications from converting a total revision to a partial...

Using the Cholinergic Anti-Inflammatory Pathway to Treat Systemic Lupus Musculoskeletal Pain
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune, inflammatory disease and musculoskeletal pain is one of the most common symptoms. This study will investigate whether transcutaneous stimulation of the vagus nerve will decrease lupus musculoskeletal pain. This study will additionally investigate the biologic effects of vagus nerve stimulation on inflammation. It will be the first clinical study using one of the body's own pathways of modulating the immune system and inflammatory response, the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, in SLE.
