Imaging Biomarkers for Myofascial Pain
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is highly prevalent in the community. It is primarily diagnosed using patient self reports and physical examination, which lack reliability, sensitivity and specificity and does not provide insights into the abnormal biological and physiological processes in soft tissues. While a number of treatment methods are available to patients, there are currently no criteria to determine which treatments might be best for each patient's unique myofascial pain phenotype. To improve evidence-based management of myofascial pain, there is a critical need to develop quantitative measures that advance the understanding of the physiological processes in the...

Ketogenic Diet in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
This is a 6-week ketogenic diet (KD) intervention where participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) will follow a KD plan, supervised and monitored by a dietician. Participants will be provided extensive educational and ongoing support on the KD, including personalized coaching with the ability to text a dietitian at any time and expect a response within 12 hours. Diet adherence and progress will be assessed daily using at-home blood ketone/glucose monitors, along with diet records. Participants will fill out health related questionnaires and undergo assessments of body composition, RA disease activity. This study also includes blood draws and fat biopsy of the abdominal region.

Local Anesthetic Response in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Healthy Volunteers
Local anesthetic resistance is commonly reported by patients with EDS. However, there are no objective data on the occurrence of local anesthetic resistance in EDS patients and in healthy volunteers. We propose to collect such objective data on the frequency of drug resistance and whether any problems with local anesthesia are due to initial ineffectiveness or due to its effects dissipating too soon.
