Tart Cherry and Omega-3's for Aromatase Inhibitor Musculoskeletal Symptoms

Both Tart Cherry and Omega 3 FAs have better side effect profiles compared to other commonly used medications for AIMSS, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, steroids, and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. Additionally, in our clinics we often find that patients tend to be more receptive to taking a supplement as opposed to an additional medication. Further, both Tart Cherry concentrate and fish oil have beneficial properties for helping with joint stiffness in general, in addition to other health issues like insomnia. There is preliminary evidence in mouse models that when given together, these supplements may have an even greater anti-inflammatory effect than when taken separately14. Although to our knowledge, no human studies have tested this hypothesis. This study has been designed to test the hypothesis that Tart Cherry and fish oil when given in combination over a 12-week period could produce beneficial changes in joint function when compared to Tart Cherry or fish oil in isolation in an obese breast cancer population experiencing AIMSS. Secondary outcomes to be assessed include pain, functional performance, quality of life and cognition.

Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers for High-impact Chronic Pain: Development and Validation

To identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarker signatures of recovery versus having persisting high-impact chronic pain and functional disability in adults with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain.

JDS-HF3.0 Supplementation on Menopause Related Quality of Life Outcomes in Postmenopausal Women

The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate whether the study product can help improve quality of life and reduce common menopause symptoms-such as joint discomfort, hot flashes and night sweats-in women aged 50-70. The primary research question is whether taking the study product daily for 12 weeks can reduce the severity and frequency of menopause-related symptoms.

Curcumin in Reducing Joint Pain in Breast Cancer Survivors With Aromatase Inhibitor-Induced Joint Disease

This phase I trial studies how well curcumin works in reducing joint pain in patients who are breast cancer survivors and have joint disease caused by treatment with aromatase inhibitors. Curcumin is an ingredient of turmeric, a plant in the ginger family, which is commonly used in curries and South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking, and may decrease joint pain in patients with arthritis from other conditions (such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis).

Dietary Wild Blueberries and Joint Health

The goal of this proposed study is to examine the effects of dietary wild blueberries on gut microbiome, serum markers of inflammation, and joint function in adults. Each participant will consume 25g freeze-dried blueberries or matched placebo powder for 12 weeks, with a 2-week washout phase between.

Evaluating the Auricular Point Acupressure-Self Management Program for Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain Among Rural Populations

The investigators will test an Auricular Point Acupressure Self-Management (APA-SM) program integrated into rural primary and specialty care and rural communities for chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). To maximize self-management of pain, the investigators developed a smartphone app which will allow the participants to learn to self-administer APA. The investigators will have 3 arms (APA-SM self-guided with remote training, APA-SM with in-person training, and Education Control) with 231 participants per arm (total=693 for 3 arms). The investigators will evaluate the clinical effectiveness of our 4-week APA-SM intervention compared to control in primary outcomes (pain intensity, pain interference, activity), secondary outcomes (HEAL Clinical Pain Core common data elements), and analgesic use up to 6 months follow-up.

The Effect of LDL557 on Improving Degenerative Arthritis in the Elderly

This project is to conduct a clinical trial of SYNBIO TECH INC.'s LDL557 capsule for joint protection. To understand the improvement of joint discomfort and inflammation after supplementation, we hope to provide an updated choice for modern people's joint protection.

SPRINT: Signature for Pain Recovery IN Teens

To identify biological and phenotypic prognostic markers of recovery vs. persistence of pain and functional disability in adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Psorcast Mobile Study

The purpose of this study is to understand variation in the symptoms of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis using simple, scalable smartphone-based measurements. This study uses an iPhone app to record these symptoms through questionnaires and sensors.

Efficacy and Safety of Celecoxib/Acetaminophen Versus Celecoxib for Diagnosed Osteoarthritis in Acute Exacerbation

This is a Phase III, longitudinal, multicenter, randomized, double-blind clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose combination of celecoxib and acetaminophen compared to celecoxib monotherapy for the treatment of pain associated with acute exacerbations of osteoarthritis.

Genicular Nerve Phenol Neurolysis Versus Radiofrequency Ablation for Pain Relief in Grade 4 Knee Osteoarthritis

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficiency and efficacy of genicular nerves blockade by chemical phenol neurolysis versus radiofrequency ablation in managing pain in patients suffering from grade IV KOA in term of NRS pain score. The participants will be evaluated by numeric rating scale and oxford knee score for assessment of pain relief up to 16 weeks.

The MUSE Study for Menopausal Arthralgia

The investigators plan to conduct a pilot 4-arm, randomized study comprising the following interventions: muscle strengthening exercises (MSE) alone, estrogen therapy (ET) alone, and a combination of MSE and ET, compared to usual care in women with menopausal arthralgia. The aim of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility, patient acceptability, and patient perspectives and logistics of delivering interventions, and practicability of outcome assessment tools in this 4-arm study over a 12-week period.

Trends in Prevalence of 11 Site-specific Musculoskeletal Pain Among U.S. Adults, 1999-2018

The goal of this observational study is to explore the prevalence trends of 11 site-specific musculoskeletal pain from 1999 to 2018. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among U.S. adults changed from 1999 to 2018? What are the trends? Participants will answer survey questions about their musculoskeletal pain on the past three months.

Prevalence of Muscle and Nerve and Joint Pain

The purpose of the study is to provide adequate information about the percentage of the main tissue that causing pain in most common spinal disorders either it is muscular, nerve or joint in each spinal parts, that will provide the physical therapist with large data that can be helpful in differential diagnosis.

Subsartorial Nerve Block and Femoral Nerve Block in Total Knee Arthroplasty

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two different types of nerve blocks in patients undergoing surgery for primary Total Knee Arthroplasty. The main question aim to answer is: \- is there a benefit in functional muscle power output of the leg? Participants will be randomized into either the intervention group or the control group and: * receive Subsartorial Saphenous Nerve Block (SSNB) + IPACK in intervention group (group 1) * receive Femoral Nerve Block (FNB) + IPACK in control group (group 2) Researchers will compare the 2 groups to see if there are differences in : * functional muscle power output of the leg? * muscle function, mobility, clinical and radiological results, ROM, pain control (NRS), opioid consumption, length of hospital stay, patient satisfaction, mobility, reduction of costs?
