This is an open-label study that will enroll participants with Interstitial Cystitis / Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS). The study will assess PRN (as needed) dosing of up to 6 intravesical (via catheter) doses of VNX001 (study drug) to treat acute instances of moderate to severe bladder pain over a 14-day period. The main aim of the study is to tally the number of doses and assess pain before and after doses. The study will review the safety and tolerability of VNX001. Participants will need to attend up to seven (7) clinic visits (1 for screening and up to 6 visits for VNX001 dosing) or at least one (1) clinic visit (for a combined screening/dosing visit) and 5 telephone visits over the course of 14 days. Participants will also be asked complete a diary or telephone call each day of the study, in order to record bladder pain, urinary urgency, side effects, and medications taken. Read Less

The REALITY study is a prospective, post-market, non-randomized, multi-center, single-arm, open-label study intended to collect short- and long-term safety and effectiveness data on various populations implanted with Abbott's neurostimulation systems. Read Less

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of the use of no topical anesthesia, topical coolant, and the use of vibration in the reduction of pain during trigger finger injections. This will be done by randomizing patients who are diagnosed with trigger finger, warrant and choose to continue with a steroid injection into each of the respective anesthetic (or lack thereof) methods described. After conducting this and gathering data on the subjects pain felt, we will compare the analgesia from each of the anesthetic methods. Read Less

This clinical trial uses transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) using the patented tKIWI system to safely reduce self-reported chronic pain with little to no side effects to improve our understanding and ability to accurately diagnose pain disorders which would facilitate the development of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment modalities using deep learning architecture built into the tKIWI.

Benign gallbladder disease, including acute cholecystitis, chronic cholecystitis, biliary dyskinesia, and biliary colic, is very common, with over 300,000 surgical cholecystectomies performed per year in the US. Unfortunately, complication rates in elderly patients or patients with many comorbidities are high. These patients are often managed with percutaneous tube drainage of the gallbladder (percutaneous cholecystostomy). The recurrence rate of calculous cholecystitis after cholecystostomy tube removal is as high as 35% at 1 year. These patients are thus faced with permanent cholecystostomy tube drainage, high-risk surgery, or cholecystostomy tube removal and risk of repeat cholecystitis. Gallbladder cryoablation is an alternative to surgical cholecystectomy which is performed percutaneously and does not require general anesthesia. Published evidence on the outcomes of gallbladder cryoablation is however limited at this point in time. The purpose of the proposed study is to follow the outcomes of high-risk patients who undergo gallbladder cryoablation. Read Less
