Research

At the Stockholm center for Spine Surgery, we are convinced that research is important in order to remain at the forefront of diagnostics and various treatment options for our patients.

Therefore, we work actively with research and have ongoing collaborations with Karolinska Institutet, Uppsala University and Linköping University, among others. As a patient at our clinic, you may therefore be asked to participate in various studies. Participation is of course always voluntary.
