Persons with stroke suffer limited walking distances due to sensory and motor changes following injury. Robotic exoskeletons have become a recent topic of study, specifically to the ankle joint to provide walking assistance and enable those to walk for longer distances. However, no study has investigated how to teach persons to use these assistive devices to greatest benefit. This study aims to determine the optimal settings and feedback with an ankle exoskeleton in order to teach a person with a stroke to use the device optimally. You will get to wear an exoskeleton on your ankle and experience a futuristic walking experience while helping the team gain new knowledge!

In this study, we want to learn how a drug works in preventing diabetic retinopathy (DR).

The purpose of this research study is to understand how a physical activity program for family members and friends can help improve their physical activity and possibly improve the symptoms of Hispanics/Latinos with osteoarthritis.

Do you have COPD or want to help us understand COPD? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study. We want to learn more about how nose inflammation is related to COPD. We are looking for people with COPD and healthy volunteers for this study. Compensation provided.

The purpose of this study to is assess changes in knee joint health before and after 8 weeks of physical activity participation in individuals with a history of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) 6 months to 5 years ago.

The purpose of this study is to identify barriers and facilitators to the implementation of integrative medical group visits (IMGV) for patients with chronic pain in safety-net healthcare settings. IMGV is one of few integrative pain management programs designed specifically for low-income populations. By understanding what it takes to make these programs successful or not, we aim to test strategies to implement IMGV widely in safety-net settings. The goal is to make integrative pain management more accessible to low-income patients.

The purpose of this study is to identify and genomically-characterize individuals with genetically unexplained neurodevelopmental disorders, such as epilepsy. The overarching goal is to provide patients with improved information about the underlying genetic basis of their disorder and illuminate novel genetically-defined treatment approaches in the future.

The purpose of this study is to conduct interviews to hear people's thoughts and feedback on various aspects of conducting syphilis vaccine research at UNC-Chapel Hill and to ask them to complete a brief online survey after their interviews. The information that participants provide will help the clinical trial researchers to better understand what concerns people might have about syphilis vaccine research and to design clinical trials that are acceptable to potential vaccine research participants.

Have you been recently diagnosed with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma? Are you over 75 years of age? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study looking at the safety of giving a new study drug CC-486 (oral azacitidine) in addition to the standard chemotherapy drug combination used to treat this disease.

The IBIS Network recently received a grant from NIH to study brain and behavior development in infants with Down Syndrome as well as non affected infants. The goal of our new study is to identify the features of Down Syndrome at an earlier age. We will be recruiting infants across all IBIS Network locations 6-months of age and younger.
