Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is different from other kinds of arthritis, in that it generally occurs symmetrically. That means if one hand or knee is involved, the other is also. RA often affects the wrist and finger joints closest to the hand, and can affect other parts of the body besides the joints.

PRC is currently enrolling in rheumatoid arthritis trials.

"I joined the RA RESET RESEARCH two years ago! I joined the research for the vagus nerve stimulator. What a difference it has made in my life. I have very few flairs with my rheumatoid arthritis! I don’t need the weekly or monthly infusions anymore! The difference is remarkable! I urge anyone who suffers from RA to ask Dr. Churchill about the vagus nerve stimulator." says Rebecca on Google

Company History

PRC was founded in 2006 from a 30 year private practice rheumatology research center to provide a turnkey approach and immediate profitability to other Physicians who desire to professionally conduct their own clinical research trials. PRC combines the expertise of private practice physicians and established patient populations with PRC’s vast research experience to provide sponsors with repetitive success in study enrollment, quality participants, clean data and timely completion of all aspects of the clinical research process.

PRC has three partner owners: Melvin A. Churchill, MD, Rick C. Chatwell, MD and Lisa M. Kastanek, RN, CCRC. Together they have over 90 cumulative years of clinical research experience, enrolled over 300 clinical trials, managed three routine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) audits and were found to be in compliance with the FDA’s Good Clinical Practice Guidelines on all three occasions.

PRC has provided research expertise to principal investigators in internal medicine, family practice and pediatrics giving these physicians the research tools necessary to be immediately successful at conducting clinical trials. PRC has provided physician investigators the ability to work with cutting edge scientific advances while providing patients an opportunity to participate in clinical trials that may offer new or better treatments while scientists collect data to search for cures. We are very proud to have participated in many exciting research opportunities that have resulted in the FDA approval of many currently marketed therapies for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, gout, giant cell arteritis, polymyalgia rheumatic, vaccines, infant formula, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Down’s Syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux disease, diabetes, hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
