Clinical Trials in Spine Medicine
The following is a listing of industry-sponsored clinical trials that are actively recruiting patients. The list is small now but will be expanding to include additional clinical trials. If you would like trials added to treat a condition or in a particular area, please send us an e-mail and we will do our best to be responsive.
Before contacting any physicians or clinics to inquire about a clinical trial, we encourage you to do two things:
- General clinical trials information: Educate yourself about clinical trials by clicking to the National Institutes of Health clinical trials Resource Information website. This informative website is designed to help patients understand clinical trials, what they are designed to accomplish, and includes practical information such as "What Questions should you ask" before taking part in a clinical trial.
- Specific clinical trial information: Every clinical trial has a very specific set of criteria that indicates whether you may or may not qualify to participate in the trial. It will save everyone—mostly you—a lot of time and effort if you first make sure that you meet the basic requirements before contacting a physician or center participating in the trial.
