Research Opportunities
Clinical Data Collection Studies
Opportunities for field doctors to participate in chiropractic research, specifically flexion distraction research, can add an exciting dimension to your chiropractic practice.

Your help is needed.
Your clinical experience is valuable.
You are invited to participate in a clinical data collection research project. |
Recent Projects:- The post-surgical study with 16 chiropractic physicians who gathered data on care of 69 patients was completed and published in the J of Chiropractic Medicine.
- The LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS CLINCAL DATA COLLECTION STUDY 2021 is started as of August 1, 2021, with IRB-approval at Keiser University College of Chiropractic Medicine West Palm Beach FL. Drs. Ram Gudavalli and Ralph Kruse are managing the study with the University of Florida's REDCAP all online secure data collection system. Contact Julie if you are interested in participating!
- Keiser CCM has submitted for IRB approval to perform ultrasound study of the lumbar spine under Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction Spinal Manipulation. Once approved, KUCCM is hoping to study at least 30 volunteers' spines. Fall 2021 start hopefully!
- The data collection of post-surgical continued pain (lumbar and cervical) patients treated with Cox® Technic is done. Its analysis and paper writing is underway. Submission for publication is hoped for Fall 2021 as well.
IDEAS FOR STUDIES TO BE DONE IN (YOUR?!?) CLINICAL PRACTICE:
- A study on rectus femoris strength before and after treatment findings on 30 cases based on information in this published paper regarding the potential cytokine inflammation in the myotome from arthritis as so many chiropractors see so much rectus femoris weakness in bad stenosis cases, especially when degenerative scoliosis is involved.
Thank you for your consideration.
