Pain and spine care draws both drug and device research, from new non-opioid pain medicines to devices placed during image-guided procedures. Interventional pain and spine practices already treat these patients and perform these procedures.

Whizz Health builds and runs the research program inside your practice. Your physicians lead the studies. Our team handles the rest.

Conditions with active industry research

• Chronic low back pain

• Lumbar radiculopathy (sciatica)

• Spinal stenosis

• Knee osteoarthritis pain

• Neuropathic pain

• Complex regional pain syndrome

What a study looks like in your office

Study visits

Device studies often include a study procedure, followed by months of follow-up visits and questionnaires. Drug studies track pain scores over time. Our coordinator manages every visit and questionnaire.

Space and equipment

An exam room, and for procedure studies, the fluoroscopy suite or procedure room you already use.

Your physician's role

Your physician performs study procedures and oversees safety. Our coordinator handles consent paperwork, questionnaires, and follow-up.

What your practice needs

• An independent pain, spine, or physiatry practice

• A physician interested in serving as principal investigator

• Steady volume of patients with the conditions above

• An EHR that can run simple patient counts

No research experience is needed.

How it works

1. Free practice assessment. We review your patient volume, using simple counts from your own reports, and show you which studies fit.

2. Site setup and study matching. We prepare your site, place a trained coordinator, and present your practice to sponsors.

3. Run and enroll. Your coordinator pre-screens patients and manages visits. Your physician oversees the research.

What your practice gets

• A new revenue stream from sponsor-paid study work

• Research coordinators we hire, train, and manage

• Regulatory, contract, and billing work handled for you

• New treatment options for patients who want them

• No upfront cost
