Our research in internal medicine gives hope and improves the quality of life for patients who struggle with a wide range of illnesses and conditions.
Through Sentara Health Research Center, we give patients access to cutting-edge trials in a number of areas, including:
- Asthma
- COPD
- Diabetes
- Hyperglycemia
- Hypertension
- Seasonal allergies
Improving symptoms and advancing research
While researchers search for a cure for many internal medicine conditions, medication prescribed during clinical trials often relieves symptoms when all other medication options have been exhausted.
Patients and doctors at Sentara have participated in internal medicine clinical trials since 2007.
Resources for internal medicine research
To conduct our trials and evaluate results, we rely on partnerships throughout Sentara Healthcare, including:
- Experts in other specialties
- Infusion clinics
- Interventional radiology
- Lab work
- MRIs and other imaging equipment
- Nuclear medicine scans
- Research pharmacy
We understand that patients and families have many questions before deciding whether to enroll in a clinical trial. We will thoroughly review the details of the study and what will be required of patients. If at any time a patient would like to withdraw from a study, they are welcome to leave.
For more information on these clinical trials and studies, please contact our clinical research coordinator at 877-310-8713.
