A research center built on decades of clinical excellence

Sterling Clinical Research is a newly established clinical research center affiliated with Sterling Medical Group. Our physicians have spent years caring for patients with complex musculoskeletal, spine, and neurological conditions — and we believe the next step in that commitment is helping bring tomorrow's treatments to life.

"Our goal is to give our patients access to the most advanced treatments in development — while contributing to the science that benefits everyone."

We participate in carefully selected Phase II and Phase III clinical trials sponsored by pharmaceutical and medical device companies. Every study we accept is reviewed for scientific merit, patient safety, and alignment with the conditions our physicians treat every day.

As a research participant, you are never alone. Our dedicated team of physicians and clinical research coordinators guide you through every step, and your participation is always voluntary, fully explained, and completely separate from your regular medical care.

Our clinical areas of expertise

Pain Management

Studies focused on chronic pain, neuropathic pain, and novel interventional therapies for patients managing long-term pain conditions.

Spine & Orthopedics

Clinical trials evaluating surgical techniques, devices, biologics, and rehabilitation protocols for spine and orthopedic conditions.

Neurosurgery

Research in traumatic brain injury, spinal cord conditions, and advanced neurosurgical interventions at the frontier of neurological care.

MRI & Imaging

On-site MRI capabilities supporting imaging-endpoint trials across all specialties — a key differentiator that accelerates study timelines.
