Objective

Shirley Ryan Ability Lab and Northwestern University are conducting a research study that will investigate a new approach for how to control robots. We are looking for participants with no history of neuromotor impairments or any other conditions that affect arm, shoulder or upper trunk mobility or vision, who are able to operate joystick, headarray, and sip-and-puff interfaces, and be able to wear an eye gaze tracking device for the requested time, and move their upper body while either wearing a motion tracking system or their motion is tracked by cameras.

Your participation will be used to learn and evaluate this new approach to robot behavior learning.

Participants in this study will:

  • Observe the motion of a robot.
  • Operate a control interface.

Brain-Based and Clinical Phenotyping of Pain Pharmacotherapy in Knee Osteoarthritis (PREDICT)

This is a clinical trial of people who have pain due to knee osteoarthritis at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in collaboration with Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. The study will last for about 20 weeks. 180 qualified participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio (60 participants per group) to one of three treatment groups: duloxetine, celecoxib or placebo. Participants will have an X-ray, knee MRI, brain MRI, blood draws, pain sensitivity testing and will be asked to fill out questionnaires. The purpose of this study is to predict which participants will respond to the treatment.
