Official Title Usability & Acceptability of a Patient-Oriented Educational Resource for Dizziness

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to look at a web-based tool on the topic of dizziness so that we can create resources for teaching patients about causes of dizziness and home-based therapies. We are recruiting patients with dizziness and/or general volunteers to review the web-based tool and then provide feedback which will then be used to help update requirements for the educational tool. This study will take about 20-30 minutes of your time to review a website and complete a survey. If you decide to also participate in the discussion, it will take about 20-30 more minutes.

Official Title A prospective, single blinded, multi-center, randomized, controlled, pivotal study to assess the safety and effectiveness of the InSpace™ device for treatment of full thickness Massive Rotator Cuff Tears

Purpose

This research study will evaluate a new device, InSpace, for use with a full thickness massive tear of rotator cuff (the group of connective tissues in the shoulder). The device is designed to allow smooth gliding of the bones in the shoulder during motion, which may allow rehabilitation exercises with less pain. The research study is being conducted to see whether the InSpace device is safe and effective for shoulder problems due to a full thickness massive rotator cuff tear.

2. Positive diagnostic imaging by MRI within 9 months of enrollment of the index shoulder indicating a full thickness MRCT: measuring ≥ 5 cm in diameter (Cofield classification) and involving ≥ two tendons
3. Functional deltoid muscle and preserved passive range of motion on physical examination
4. Failed non-operative treatment of at least 4 months from the initial treatment to include one or all of the following: Oral analgesics, Anti-inflammatory medication (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen), Corticosteroid injection(s), Physical therapy, Activity modification, or Rest (sling used)

Official Title A Phase 3, Double-Blind, Randomized, Long-Term, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Obeticholic Acid in Subjects with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

Purpose

This research study is for those who have nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (meaning your liver is swollen and damaged because of a buildup of fat in your liver) and some liver fibrosis (which is damaged and scarred liver tissue). Because of your condition, you may be eligible for a research study on an investigational drug for your condition. The Regenerate Study will assess the safety and effectiveness of the investigational medication obeticholic acid (OCA) compared to placebo in delaying specific medical conditions or health related issues that can occur in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (meaning your liver is swollen and damaged because of a buildup of fat in your liver) and some liver fibrosis (which is damaged and scarred liver tissue).

Could this study be right for you?

• Age 18 or older
• Diagnosed with Stage 2 or 3 NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis--meaning your liver is swollen and damaged because of a buildup of fat in your liver) and some liver fibrosis (which is damaged and scarred liver tissue).

If you are eligible and decide to take part in this research study, you will need to complete 1 or 2 screening visits to see if you are eligible to participate in the study. Once the study doctor determines you can participate in the study, you will be asked to come back to the clinic 8 times (for the Month 0 [Day 1] Visit, the Month 1 Visit, the Month 3 Visit, and then every 3 months) for the first 18 months you are in the study and then 2 times per year (every 6 months) for each additional year you are in the study.

Official Title The Spine Phenome Project

Purpose

This study is designed to capture information about your spine. We will collect information from wearable sensors while you move your low back and neck. We will also collect a series of questionnaires and information from your medical record that related to your spine health. We want to compare the health history and motion capabilities of participants with healthy spines to participants with back and neck pain disorders. We believe that capturing and analyzing this information together will advance our understanding of low back and neck disorders and help develop healthcare applications, tools, or devices that improve the way we prevent, evaluate, and treat spine disorders. You will complete up to 8 visits and participate in the study for up to 5 years.

Could this study be right for you?

To participate, you must meet the following criteria:

• Age 18-80
• Able to speak, read, and understand English
