Quantum-Synaptic Immunotherapy Mapping Using Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Resonance and Machine Learning-Based Cytokine Forecasting
The ImmuneNet study is a Phase I/II clinical trial sponsored by Truway Health, Inc. It will test whether gentle, low-frequency electromagnetic resonance (LF-EMR) can influence how immune cells communicate and synchronize with each other. The goal is to see if this "quantum-synaptic" signaling effect can help stabilize immune activity and reduce the number of autoimmune flare-ups in people living with conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis. Participants will receive either an active or a sham (placebo) LF-EMR session three times per week for twelve weeks. Each session is completely non-invasive. Blood samples will be collected to study cytokines...

Randomized Study of an Analgesic Device Enabling Local Anesthetic Delivery and Neuromodulation After Shoulder/Foot Surgery
Postoperative pain remains undertreated with inadequate analgesic options. Opioids have well-known limitations for both individuals and society; single-injection and continuous peripheral nerve blocks provide intense analgesia but are limited in duration to 24-72 hours; and current neuromodulation options-with a duration measured in weeks and not hours-are prohibitively expensive and require an additional procedure. One possible solution is a device currently under investigation to treat postoperative pain. The RELAY system (Gate Science, Moultonborough, New Hampshire) is comprised of a basic catheter-over-needle device to allow administration of a single-injection of...

Rate of Allergic Contact Dermatitis and Cosmetic Outcomes
The patients from the Department of Orthopaedics Center for Joint Replacement will be asked to participate in the study. These patients will be randomized to one of three wound closure products, Sylke adhesive dressing, Exofin skin glue, or Suture Strip Plus. Participants will be asked to take a photograph of the incision 4 days after surgery to submit via MyChart for review by the WVU Department of Dermatology Team. All patients will be evaluated at their regular 2-week, 6-week, and 3-month post-operative visits where clinical photographs will be submitted for independent review by the WVU Department of Dermatology Team to assess outcomes.

Ready, Set, Go! A Physical Fitness Intervention for Children With Mobility Challenges
Barriers to keeping and maintaining fitness as a young person with a disability exist across many domains of access to community locations such as fitness centers, so looking outside of these establishments may be necessary to advance fitness. This study is aimed at piloting a program that would address some of these barriers by hosting a modified after school running program with an underserved population in an accessible way. There is a second option to participate outside of school.

Recapturing Immune Tolerance to Pegloticase for the Management of Tophaceous Gout
This safety and feasibility, open-label study of up to 9 subjects will examine a group of subjects with poorly controlled tophaceous gout (intolerant to or ineffective oral urate lowering agents and loss of prior Pegloticase response) pre-treated with Rituximab to recapture response to Methotrexate-Pegloticase.

Repurposing 5-Azacytidine for the Treatment of Muscle Contractures in Children With Cerebral Palsy
In this controlled dose-escalation study, we will study the initial safety, biological properties, and potential efficacy of 5-azacytidine (AZA). Our overarching aspiration is for AZA to evolve into an approved pharmacological treatment, fostering muscle growth and enhancing body movement, ultimately contributing to an improved quality of life in children with CP. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. What is the optimal dose of AZA injection that can be used safely in children with CP? 2. Can the optimal safe dose of AZA improve the function of muscle-generating stem cells in children with CP? Each participant will have up to five research...
