What is Clinical Research?

Clinical research is the foundation of modern medicine. It is the process of studying new treatments, devices, and approaches to better understand diseases and improve patient care. Through carefully designed clinical trials, researchers can determine whether new therapies are safe, effective, and beneficial for patients like you.
Our Expertise
At EmergeOrtho, PA and M3 Wake Research – Wilmington, our physicians and research staff bring decades of experience in conducting advanced clinical trials. Our work spans from testing innovative devices for spine surgery, intra-articular injection with HSA for the treatment of joint pain, to evaluating the latest biotechnology-based medications.
Over the years, our teams have contributed to the development of many treatments and technologies that are now available worldwide. Our studies have included groundbreaking trials on medications and devices such as:
