Conquest Research is currently partnering with leading medical research facilities and physicians to conduct clinical trials on treatments related to lumbar degenerative disc disease. To determine eligibility for any of the studies, a screening visit may include:

Chronic back pain can take a physical and mental toll on your body with time. It usually arises from a condition called lumbar degenerative disc disease, where your spinal cord begins to wear down.

Your spine consists of rubbery discs between the vertebrae bones that help absorb shock. Healthy spinal disks can enable you to move comfortably while bending or twisting. However, when they begin to wear away, your vertebrae no longer have as thick of a cushion between. This means that your bones can start to rub together, which causes the pain you feel when moving about.

Degenerative disc disease is so common that nearly everyone after age 40 will experience the condition to some degree. In fact, nearly 8% of American adults experience persistent or chronic back pain. Without treatment, the pain can worsen with time or radiate to other parts of your body. It can even limit you in the extent to which you carry out daily activities, like walking around the home or going on errands. 

Yet, traditional treatment for lumbar degenerative disc disease can be expensive and inaccessible for most. High cost, combined with other factors like time, may restrict people in their ability to comfortably move again.

Clinical trials remove cost barriers by providing patients with treatments that are both innovative, safe, and accessible. If you’re ready to receive the latest advancements in modern medicine, participating in degenerative disk disease clinical trials may be the right solution for you.

At Conquest Research, our physicians are seeking adult volunteers experiencing chronic low back pain to take part in clinical trials located in Central Florida. They will study the effects of a medication designed to treat lumbar degenerative disc disease to alleviate chronic low back pain.

You may qualify if you:

• Are at least 18 years of age
• Have chronic low back pain that has lasted longer than 6 months
• Have back pain that is greater than leg pain

From there, the study doctor may invite you for a screening visit to confirm eligibility criteria.

Although lumbar degenerative disc disease may cause persistent lower back pain, it doesn’t have to stay. At Conquest Research, our focus is to develop new medical treatments to help present and future generations. By participating in a clinical trial, you can experience top medical care for your spinal disks at no cost.
