Evaluating Safety and Feasibility of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Following Traumatic and Non-Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: A Pilot Study
Recruiting
The study will be a non-randomized, non-blinded pilot study to analyze the safety and feasibility of a non-significant risk device, transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation. The aim is to include 30 total patients, 10 patients in each of 3 groups: 1. Non-traumatic spinal cord injury (ntSCI) with diagnosis of degenerative cervical myelopathy and offered surgical intervention. 2. Early tSCI screened during the hospital admission when cervical/thoracic spinal injury was diagnosed. 3. Delayed tSCI (c... Read More

Behavioral Effects of Drugs (Inpatient): 43 (Opioids, Cocaine, n-Acetylcysteine)
Recruiting
The overarching hypotheses of this protocol are that (1) persistent brain glutamate changes induced by chronic opioid use will exacerbate use of cocaine during opioid physical dependence and withdrawal and (2) n-acetylcysteine (NAC) will ameliorate glutamatergic dysregulation, and thus will reduce both opioid and cocaine demand. These hypotheses will be tested with two specific aims. Specific Aim 1. Determine the reinforcing effects of cocaine in individuals with comorbid opioid and cocaine use... Read More

Regulation of Mucosal Healing in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Recruiting
The objective of the current study is to compare non-healing colonic ulcers in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with iatrogenic colonic ulcers (biopsy sites) in healthy control patients and patients with rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis. Patients will be biopsied at baseline and again at a follow-up visit in a "biopsy of the biopsy" approach. These biopsies will be used to reveal patterns about gene expression and mitochondrial function during ulcer healing.
