Clinical Research
Clinical research is the systematic investigation of medical treatments, therapies, and interventions to determine their safety and effectiveness. It forms the backbone of modern healthcare, serving as the bridge between scientific discoveries and their real-world application. Here at Pacific Sports and Spine Clinic we believe that research is not just a part of what we do; it’s at the heart of our commitment to exceptional patient care.
Our involvement is driven by a few key principles:
-
- Advancing Treatment Options: We are dedicated to staying at the forefront of medical advances, which allows us to provide our patients with the latest and most effective treatments available.
- Improving Patient Outcomes: Our participation in research studies helps us refine our treatment approaches, leading to better results and experiences for our patients.
- Contributing to the Community: By actively engaging in clinical research, we’re contributing to the broader healthcare community’s knowledge and the betterment of patient care on a global scale.
Our commitment to advancing healthcare through research is unwavering and drives the pursuit of cutting-edge treatments in our clinical research practice.

Below are the current studies that are enrolling at our facility:
Clinical Trials Open to Enrollment:
-
- STABILITY: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the instrumented posterior arthrodesis using the Spinal Simplicity Minuteman G5 MIS Fusion Plate and bone graft material in patients with degenerative conditions of the lumbar spine resulting in chronic low back pain with lower extremity symptoms and concurrent neurogenic claudication.

- COMFORT 2: The purpose of this research study is to document and compare the safety and effectiveness of two methods to treat chronic pain: conventional medical management (CMM) vs CMM plus the addition of the Nalu PNS System. The Nalu Peripheral Nerve Stimulation System is cleared by the US food and drug Administration (FDA); and is available commercially in the US. Information from this study may help doctors improve patient care for this condition.
