The Millennium Pain Center promotes an active and productive
research program, encompassing both pre-clinical and clinical
investigations. MPC physicians are strongly encouraged, capably-
guided, and financially supported in their pursuit of quality clinical and
basic science research.
Pre-Clinical Research:
The Millennium Pain Center supports a pre-clinical research laboratory
located on the campus of Illinois State University, Normal, IL. The
primary areas of interest that are being actively pursued are in the areas
of electrical spinal neuromodulation and pain treatment alternatives using
pulsed-radiofrequency. Pre-clinical research is primarily focused on
determining the mechanism by which these pain therapies reduce or
eliminate pain sensation.
Clinical Research:
Clinical research is primarily focused directly or indirectly improving
patient care in a cost-effective manner. MPC has Phase II, III, and IV trial
study experience in pharmaceutical, medical device, drug and procedural
clinical trials.
