Innovative Clinical Trials

The Innovative Clinical Trial’s theme aims to conduct high-priority clinical trials utilising cutting-edge methodologies to evaluate treatments, care models, and preventive strategies for reducing pain and preserving function.

By implementing advanced trial designs and leveraging the latest technologies, we strive to accelerate the development of effective interventions, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life.
