A specialized center for investigating pain treatments at Mount Sinai.
The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) EPPIC-Net Specialized Clinical Center
This study is looking for ways to help people with chronic pain, especially in the African American community, by finding non-addictive treatments that really work, and they're inviting patients with chronic low back pain to join in and share their experiences.

What this research studies
This research focuses on developing non-addictive treatments for chronic pain, particularly targeting African American populations. The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is leveraging its extensive clinical trials infrastructure and diverse patient population to conduct various studies, including mechanistic studies and biomarker validation. Patients with chronic low back pain and other high-impact pain syndromes will be recruited to participate in these trials, which aim to optimize pain management strategies. The research emphasizes collaboration and rapid implementation of clinical studies to meet patient needs effectively.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation include African American individuals experiencing chronic low back pain or other significant pain conditions.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have chronic pain conditions or are not part of the targeted demographic may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to new, non-addictive pain management options for patients suffering from chronic pain.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in developing non-addictive pain treatments, indicating that this approach could build on existing knowledge and successes.
