Clinical Trials

Our clinical research program focuses on investigating the effects of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and other non-surgical treatments for back pain, neck pain and headache patients of all ages.

We conduct high quality randomized clinical trials that emphasize patient-oriented outcomes – the results that patients care about most. These include minimizing pain, reducing disability, and increasing satisfaction with care.
