Upcoming Studies

Upcoming CRPS Study

We will soon be enrolling adults with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS-1) in a clinical research study evaluating a potential treatment option aimed at reducing pain and improving symptoms in affected limbs. 

 

The study is intended for individuals with relatively recent CRPS symptoms and ongoing moderate to severe pain. 

Upcoming Sciatica Pain Study

We will soon be enrolling adults with moderate to severe lumbar radicular pain (sciatica-related leg pain) in a clinical research study evaluating an investigational injection treatment option.

Participants may undergo screening, imaging, pain assessments, and follow-up visits over multiple treatment periods. Some participants may qualify for an additional injection phase during the study.

Additional Information

Participation is voluntary, and all study procedures will be explained before enrollment.

About Trials

What is a Clincial Trial?

Clinical trials are research studies performed in people that are aimed at evaluating a medical, surgical, or behavioral intervention. They are the primary way that researchers find out if a new treatment, like a new drug or diet or medical device (for example, a pacemaker) is safe and effective in people. Often a clinical trial is used to learn if a new treatment is more effective and/or has less harmful side effects than the standard treatment.
