The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in the human body, steered by a group of muscles and their respective tendons, together called the rotator cuff. A consequence of this mobility is a vulnerability to degradation, or wear and tear, of tendons and inflammation in the surrounding area. Our study aims to create biological samples and data bank to get…

Juvenile fibromyalgia (JFM) is a cause of chronic, whole-body pain. The cause of JFM is unknown. One of the possible causes of JFM is a problem with nerves called "small fiber neuropathy." This is a problem where small nerve fibers in the skin are not working properly and patients can have pain as a result. Recent studies have found evidence of…
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the brain wave patterns are improved after administration of CVN058 compared to placebo in subjects with schizophrenia. The study uses electroencephalography (EEG) to measure naturally occurring brain waves as you listen to recorded sounds.
You are being asked to be part of this study because you have been diagnosed with a bulge or aneurysm in your iliac arteries, the vessels that supply blood to the lower half of your body. As an aneurysm expands, the walls become weak and may rupture, causing a major loss of blood with a high risk of death and other serious complications. To avoid this risk…
