RESEARCH – STUDIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES NIH STUDIES 

If you would like to read about the latest studies from the NIH, found out who is looking for patients, find out which studies are getting ready to start, which ones have just finished, read the latest studies, etc.; all related to the NIH (National Institutes of Health), you can visit the NIH ALPHABETIZED LISTING OF CLINICAL TRIALS TOPICS AND/OR DISEASE

Then scroll down for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, or click on “alphabetize listing” to scoot over to “R” for Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. Nearly all physicians and researchers have made the switch to the correct and current “CRPS” by now but there will be a few throwbacks to the old “RSD”, mostly because their are some continuing studies that started with the old designation and they made need to continue to use those letters and/or words for funding purposes. Last time I checked, early June of 2014, there were around 60 or so listings for CRPS studies.

If you have any questions, please email American RSDHope.

If we learn of any studies specifically related to the new medication Neridronate, we will post them here as well if they are not connected with the NIH.
