Implementing Group Battlefield Acupuncture in CCRCs for the Treatment of Chronic Lower Back Pain
Recruiting
Lower back pain (LBP) is one of the most common causes of disability, with 68% of adults over 60 years of age suffering from chronic Lower Back Pain (cLBP). In addition to the exacerbation of physical, social and emotional health issues, LBP has a staggeringly high US economic burden. Community-dwelling older adults experience a significant amount of chronic pain and treatments that are effective in their younger adult counterparts (e.g., pain medications, exercise) are often not safe or feasibl...

Daily Aspirin Treatment After Preeclampsia
Recruiting
Women who develop preeclampsia during pregnancy are four times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease later in life, even if they are otherwise healthy. The reason why this occurs may be related to lasting blood vessel damage after the pregnancy but there are currently no specific treatment strategies to prevent this disease progression. This study addresses this public health issue by examining whether starting low dose aspirin therapy after pregnancy is an effective treatment for lastin... Read More

Comparative Effect of Carbon Fiber Orthosis Cuff Design on Preference, Comfort, and Mechanics
Recruiting
Carbon fiber custom dynamic orthoses (CDOs) consist of a proximal cuff that wraps around the leg just below the knee, a posterior carbon fiber strut that stores and returns energy during gait, and a carbon fiber foot plate that supports the foot and allows bending of the posterior strut. The proximal cuff is a primary interface between the patient and the CDO and may influence comfort, preference, limb mechanics and loading, and effective stiffness of the CDO. The important role of the proximal... Read More
