Investigator Initiated Trials<\/p><\/h2><\/span>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Wilderman Medical Clinic strives to be at the forefront of research and innovation. Our investigator-initiated trials are led by qualified staff and by physician researchers with over 10 years of clinical research experience.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n

Similarly to industry-initiated trials, physician-initiated trials have to go through the approval process, data collection, and analysis which can take up to several years.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

The goal of our trials is to analyze data collected over many years, as well as prospectively, and establish patterns that can potentially be used to establish more efficient methods, treatment approaches, and measuring tools for delivering care to patients with chronic pain.<\/p>\n

Wilderman Medical Clinic is currently looking to recruit volunteers with chronic pain conditions for the following studies:<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Knee Osteoarthritis Pain Relief Dimensions<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Wilderman Medical Clinic is conducting a study to provide evidence of the validity of a new pain measurement tool. This tool will be used for the evaluation of the treatment effectiveness of corticosteroid injections for pain relief in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Osteoarthritis produces pain in the knee that is typically worsened by activities such as long distance walking. Corticosteroid injections into the knee joint are usually prescribed to treat the pain associated with osteoarthritis.<\/p>\n

There are currently no well-established tools that can accurately measure the percentage and duration of pain relief. The new, developed within Wilderman Medical Clinic, Integral of Pain Relief (IPR) is a pain measurement tool that assesses two significant pain relief dimensions: (1) the percentage of pain relief, and (2) the duration of pain relief. Both factors are reported by the patient and provide important information about whether and to what extent a treatment provides relief for patients.<\/p>\n
