Connective Tissue Matrix Compared to Steroid Injections for Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
Recruiting
The goal of the study is to see which is better at treating patients which rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCT): a single injection of Connective Tissue Matrix boost (CTM) or a steroid shot. Patients will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to the treatment. Patients and researchers will be blinded (not know) what group the patients are in. Patients will come back to the study clinic at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after the shot to answer questionnaires, have a physical exam, and complete physi... Read More

How OMT Benefits Newly Diagnosed Patients With Respiratory Illness When Given Alongside Other Standard Care.
Recruiting
This study is to see Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy, or OMT, can aid in treating patients being seen for respiratory illness and associated symptoms. The hypothesis is that the addition of OMT therapy, alongside other standard care (such as a medication), can help lessen patient symptoms sooner than just other treatment alone, and the duration of the condition will shorten as well.

Can Medical Cannabis Affect Opioid Use?
Recruiting
The goal of this observational study is to learn how medical cannabis (MC) affects pain and the use of opioid pain medications. Participants who have chronic pain and use prescribed opioid pain medication will opt-in to using MC or not for the 3-month study. Participants who are certified in Pennsylvania will purchase specific medical cannabis products at a reduced cost from a partnering medical cannabis dispensary monthly. All participants will complete baseline, daily, and monthly assessments... Read More

Outcomes and Health Care Resource Utilization in Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease Patients Undergoing Non-Cardiac Procedures
Recruiting
The incidence of moderate to severe congenital heart disease (CHD) in the United States is estimated to be 6 per 1000 live-born full term infants. Recent advances in pediatric cardiology, surgery and critical care have significantly improved the survival rates of patients with CHD leading to an increase in prevalence in both children and adults. Children with CHD significant enough to require cardiac surgery frequently also undergo non-cardiac surgical procedures. Analysis of the Pediatric Healt... Read More

A Study of Different Programs to Help ALL Patients With Taking Maintenance Medicine at Home
Recruiting
This clinical trial tests different programs to help patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remember to take their medications during maintenance therapy at home. One problem with ALL maintenance treatment is remembering to take medicines at home like patients are supposed to. In maintenance, a medicine called 6-mercaptopurine or "6MP" is taken by mouth every day at home. In this study, 6MP prescriptions are filled into a special medication bottle called MEMS® which is fitted with a sp... Read More
