Adolescent Outcomes of Post-operative Opioid EXposure
Recruiting
The goal of this observational study is to examine the factors associated with the transition from medical exposure to opioids with "signposts" of future opioid use disorder among adolescent surgical patients. The main question aims to identify factors (moderators, mediators, and covariates) associated with risk factors for opioid use disorder (ROUD) in the 12 months following major surgery with opioid exposure among adolescents aged 12-17. Participants will be asked to complete electronic surve... Read More

No Opioids vs. Minimal Opioids Following Inguinal Hernia Repair
Recruiting
The investigators hypothesize that not prescribing opioids after uncomplicated, outpatient IHR will be non-inferior to prescribing opioids (5 tablets of Oxycodone, 5mg; or surgeon preference for intolerance) with respect to requests for opioid refills. Additionally, the investigators believe there will be no significant difference in postoperative readmission for pain quality of life at 30 days in either group.

STTEPP: Safety, Tolerability and Dose Limiting Toxicity of Lacosamide in Patients With Painful Chronic Pancreatitis
Recruiting
The investigators propose to conduct a dose-escalation trial of an FDA-approved antiepileptic drug, lacosamide, added to opioid therapy in patients with chronic abdominal pain from chronic pancreatitis (CP). This pilot trial will test the feasibility of the study design and provide reassurance regarding the tolerability and safety of lacosamide used concomitantly with opioids in this patient population to reduce the condition known clinically as opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH).

Comparing Analgesic Regimen Effectiveness and Safety for Surgery for Kids Trial
Recruiting
This trial is being completed to compare two commonly used options to treat pain after discharge from surgery. Participants that undergo tonsil removal, gallbladder removal, and knee scope will be eligible to enroll. Eligible participants will be randomized to prescription of 1 of 2 groups of medications (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) plus acetaminophen or low dose opioids with the NSAIDs plus acetaminophen. The key question the study seeks to answer is which option will have th... Read More

CEM-Plate and CEM-Cage First-In-Human Use Efficacy Study
Recruiting
The study is a prospective, first-in-human, multi-center, non-randomized, single-arm study to assess the safety and efficacy of the CEM-Cage used with the CEM-Plate in patients who are appropriate candidates for a 2-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Fifty patients will be enrolled in the study and, after undergoing a 2-level ACDF, will be evaluated at 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months.

Precise and Objective Identification of Bertolotti Syndrome Using Novel Kinematic Biomarkers
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to collect lumbar rotations, velocity, and accelerations, along with pain scores using a novel dynamic VAS device, from twenty (20) Bertolotti Syndrome patients and twenty (20) non-Bertolotti low back pain patients during range-of-motion tasks. The assessments will be analyzed to determine the differences in kinematics and continuous pain scores between Bertolotti patients and non-Bertolotti low back pain patients.
