Become Part of Our Efforts
Physicians
We help physicians set up HIPAA compliant data collection for Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs), participate as an investigator or sub-investigator for a current study, or create and design an original research study.
Patients
We match patients seeking innovative methods to promote their own healing to clinical trials employing research-backed technology and innovations.
Companies
We connect companies that are interested in running clinical trials and gather high quality data to validate the safety and efficacy of their products. We are a site for IDEs and post-market trials for biologics and devices.
Our Research
Current
Our ongoing commitment to functional research explores the safety and efficacy of the latest technologies in spinal surgery through prospective and retrospective studies. Our goal is to identify devices that most effectively improve patient outcomes using validated metrics and radiographic imaging.
As a clinical research site for various private practices, we hope to capture and utilize the wealth of data available in each clinic to advance future care through the research and development of new technologies, spinal devices, and biologics. We are actively recruiting and enrolling patients in three functional studies. More information can be found about each trial on ClinicalTrials.gov.
A Multi-Center, Open-Label, Prospective Study of a PEMF device as Adjunctive Care following Cervical Fusion
A Multi-Center, Open-Label, Prospective Study of a PEMF device as Adjunctive Care following Lumbar Fusion
Prospective Clinical Evaluation of Standalone Cervical Interbody Fusion Device
Future Directions
Through collaborations with other research organizations, community partners, and small businesses, we are pursuing investigations into the following studies. We encourage and welcome interested partners who would like to join and contribute to our efforts to send inquiry emails to research@inifoundation.org.
Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality Cognitive Training Treatment Program for Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease
miRNA & Concussion
Pilot panel study examining longitudinal expression of miRNA in blood and saliva in high school athletes with concussions
Risk Stratification
Risk stratification and machine learning to predict patient outcomes following surgery
