Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety Profile of Understudied Drugs Administered to Children Per Standard of Care (POPS)
Recruiting
The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treating provider.

Improving Pain Management Via Spinal Cord Stimulation and Blood Pressure Reduction
Recruiting
The purpose of this study (PASSION study) is to monitor symptoms of chronic pain before and after 2 weeks of a standard drug commonly used to treat elevated blood pressure compared with 2 weeks of placebo (crossover design) so that we may better understand how blood pressure affects your level of pain. This study is not testing an experimental drug.

Evaluation of Multi-Tined Expandable Electrode (MEE) Efficacy and Safety in Treatment of Lumbar Facet Arthropathy by Radiofrequency Neurotomies Compared to Conservative Medical Management.
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to better understand how people feel after a radiofrequency ablation standard of care surgery using a different type of needle (multi-tined expandable electrode/MEE) in comparison to receiving conventional medical management (CMM) techniques.

Conditions: Chronic Low-back Pain
Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation for Hypertension in Patients With Neuropathic Pain
Recruiting
The purpose of the ESCAPE Study is to determine the extent to which epidural spinal cord stimulation (SCS) reduces arterial blood pressure (BP) in patients which chronic low back pain and hypertension. We also aim to determine the extent to which higher baseline BP (i.e., hypertension) predicts reductions in pain following SCS implant. This is an observational study of patients undergoing an implantation of a SCS device.
