Degenerative Disc Disease Trials
A leading cause of back pain and neck pain, degenerative disc disease is not actually a disease, nor does it necessarily get worse with time. While degenerative disc disease usually gets better with time, degenerative disc disease trials exist to further advance the treatment of symptoms from this often confusing condition. Strictly voluntary, degenerative disc disease trials may provide participants with access to new treatments, including medical devices or drugs, that have not yet been approved or released to the public for treatment of degenerative disc disease.
Don't let the term "degenerative" confuse you; degenerative disc disease does not necessarily get worse with age. While the disc degeneration is likely to progress over time, the associated pain usually does not get worse and in fact usually gets better over time.
