Conservative Treatment of Trigger Finger
Recruiting
This study is to analyze the effectiveness of a nighttime extension orthosis after receiving a cortisone injection for the treatment of trigger finger to improve pain and restore functional outcomes. The investigators hypothesize that the extension orthosis will improve pain and functional outcomes compared to those without a digital night extension orthosis in those with trigger finger at 12 weeks from the injection.

Trial of Suvorexant for Sleep in Children with Autism
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of suvorexant on sleep in children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Suvorexant is a selective, dual orexin receptor antagonist (DORA) used for the treatment of sleep onset difficulties and/or sleep maintenance. To accomplish this, the investigators will use a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled crossover 8-week study design to examine the effect of suvorexant on sleep physiology as assessed by polysomnography (PSG), ac...

Trial of Zolpidem for Sleep in Children with Autism
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of zolpidem on sleep in children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Zolpidem is a nonbenzodiazepine GABAa receptor agonist drug that acts as a hypnotic. To accomplish this, the investigators will use a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled crossover 8-week study design to examine the effect of zolpidem on sleep physiology as assessed by polysomnography (PSG), actigraphy, circadian rhythm, and clinical measures.

Effect of Novel Exhalational Delivery System with Fluticasone (EDS-FLU) on Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD)
Recruiting
Intranasal nasal steroid sprays are the mainstay of treatment for chronic Eustachian tube dysfunction despite having little supportive evidence in the literature. A novel, commercially available nasal spray delivery system is available now for fluticasone that improves its delivery to the nasopharynx. The hypothesis of this study is that fluticasone using the novel spray system is effective for Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD).

A Clinical Investigation Evaluating Wound Closure with OptiPulse™ Versus SOC in the Treatment of Non-Healing DFU's
Recruiting
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to assess the safety and performance of Compedica's OptiPulse™ and to collect subject outcome data on the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU's) versus the standard of care (SOC). OptiPulse™ is designed to enhance blood circulation in the venules and arterioles. Fibracol Plus (or equivalent) is a collagen alginate dressing that is used as the primary dressing. Both products are 510(k) FDA cleared and will be used within the cleared intended use. Read More

Microbiome and Association With Implant Infections
Recruiting
The most common tissue expander-related infections are from Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas species. In addition, from breast tissue microbiome studies, Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas show variable abundance across samples. The investigator hypothesizes that participants undergoing mastectomy with high initial abundance of Staphylococcus and/or Pseudomonas are more likely to develop subsequent tissue expander-related infections from these respective organisms.

Panitumumab-IRDye800 in Diagnosing Participants With Malignant Glioma Undergoing Surgery
Recruiting
The phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of panitumumab-IRDye800 in diagnosing participants with malignant glioma who undergo surgery. Panitumumab-IRDye800 can attach to tumor cells and make them more visible using a special camera during surgery, which may help surgeons better distinguish tumor cells from normal brain tissue and identify small tumors that cannot be seen using current imaging methods.
