Resiniferatoxin for the Management of Refractory Morton s Neuroma Pain
Recruiting
Morton s neuroma is an irritation of the nerves that affect the feet. People with this condition may have burning or shooting pain in the balls of their feet. They may also have numbness in adjacent areas. These symptoms may become more frequent and severe over time. The pain may become permanent. Current treatments tend to be short-lived, and they do not work in all people. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a study drug, resiniferatoxin (RTX), in people with Morton s neuroma.... Read More

PET Imaging of Cyclooxygenases in Neurodegenerative Brain Disease
Recruiting
Background: About 5 million adults in the U.S. have Alzheimer s disease or another adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder. Many studies have found that inflammation in the brain contributes to these diseases. Researchers want to find a better way to measure this inflammation. Objective: To learn whether COX-1 and/or COX-2 is elevated in the brains of individuals with neurodegenerative brain disease compared to healthy volunteers. Eligibility: Adults age 18 years and older in good general he... Read More

Strategies to AchieVe Viral Suppression for Youth With HIV
Recruiting
Although there have been advances in antiretroviral treatment (ART) for HIV, adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AHIV) continue to have disparate HIV outcomes particularly viral suppression (VS), when compared to other populations likely related to multi-layered challenges (social determinants, cognitive development), system, and biomedical challenges including the reliance on oral ART as the only choice for HIV treatment. Given that approximately 1/3 of AHIV despite being in care fail... Read More
