Southwest Florida Pain Management Research Center
Our Mission
Our mission is to contribute to the development of innovative treatments by conducting rigorous, patient-centered clinical trials. We aim to be a trusted partner for study participants, sponsors, and Contract Research Organizations (CROs), ensuring data integrity and advancing healthcare solutions. Our Vision is to transform clinical data into safe and effective medical therapies that will improve patient outcomes.
Studies
Gastroenterology
Our dedicated Gastroenterology research team focuses on the conduct of clinical studies such as: Gastro Esophageal Reflux (GERD) Peptic Ulcer Disease Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Inflammatory Bowel Disease Celiac Disease Hepatitis Pancreatitis Gastritis Among many other GI conditions.
Management Studies
Pain
Our pain management research team specializes in studies such as: Chronic Pain Neuropathic Pain Cancer Pain Musculoskeletal Pain Headache Post Operative Pain Among many others within the pain management specialty, including procedures and implantation of devices.
Research
Clinical
Clinical research is a branch of medical science that involves studying and testing new treatments, drugs, medical devices, and diagnostic tools in human subjects to evaluate their safety and effectiveness. It is a crucial step in the development of new healthcare interventions and plays a vital role in advancing medical knowledge and improving patient care. Clinical studies are divided into different phases, preclinical studies are those studies that test investigational products in animals prior to humans, to determine safety and tolerability.
Phase 1 studies are those, mainly in healthy humans with some exceptions like cancer studies, that tests investigational products to determine absorption, excretion and metabolism as well as safety, tolerability and optimal dosage.
Phase 2 studies are those that test a larger size of patients with the condition under study to determine investigational product safety, optimal dosage, and efficacy.
Phase 3 studies are studies at a larger scale that include a few thousand patients with the studied condition to obtain more information on dosages, effectiveness and side effects of the investigational product right before the regulatory agencies consider a temporary or permanent approval for marketing and general use.
Last but not least, phase 4 studies are those that are conducted after the investigational product has been given approval and its being used in the general population, these type of studies are used to collect more information about the investigational product, information such like contraindications, adverse effects and reactions as well as long term effects and effectiveness. At our site we are proud to take part in studies from phase 2 to phase 4 to contribute to the future of medicine for the benefit of our patients.
New Medical Therapies
Improve & Develop
Our clinical research site facilitates the development of new and improved medical therapies by connecting pharmaceutical scientists (Sponsors) with disease-specific patients (Study Participants). The goal is to identify therapies that are both safer and more effective than current standard treatments.
