One common question we get about clinical trials is: “When does the study start?”

Unlike a traditional class or program, most of our clinical research trials don’t have one single start or end date for all participants.

📅 Here’s how it works:
Once a trial is actively enrolling, we schedule screening and study visits based on your availability and the study’s timeline — not a fixed group start date.

⚠️ Important to know:
Each trial allows a limited number of participants, and some studies can fill up quickly once enrollment is underway.

If you’re interested in a trial, reaching out sooner rather than later can help ensure you don’t miss an opportunity.

We’re always happy to walk you through next steps, answer questions, and see if a study might be a good fit for you.

Binge eating is often a quiet, hidden struggle — and many people carry it alone, feeling embarrassed or afraid of judgment. We want you to know this: you are worthy of help, and you’re not alone.

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is a recognized medical condition that involves more than just eating habits — it often includes emotional distress and a sense of lost control around food.

Some signs of BED may include:
🍽️ Eating rapidly or much more than usual
😣 Eating until feeling uncomfortably full
🍔 Eating large amounts when not physically hungry
🙈 Eating alone or in secret
💔 Feeling guilt, shame, or distress afterward

If you’re between 18–55 years old and live in the Kansas City area, you may qualify for our outpatient clinical research study for Binge Eating Disorder.

✔️ All visits are outpatient
✔️ Study-related care and medication are provided at no cost
✔️ Compensation is available to those who qualify

At Collective Medical Research, we approach every participant with respect, understanding, and compassion — never judgment. Our goal is to help advance better treatment options while supporting you every step of the way.

📞 Call 913-381-7180 to learn more or see if you qualify.

You don’t have to keep this struggle to yourself — help is available, and change is possible 💙

As we step into a new year, we want to wish you a Happy New Year and a year ahead filled with health, peace, and possibility ✨

For some, looking back on this year brings pride and gratitude.
For others, it may include loss, unexpected changes, health challenges, or financial stress.

If this past year wasn’t what you hoped it would be, please know this: it’s okay to acknowledge the hard parts while still holding space for hope. Healing and optimism can coexist.

As you think about the year ahead, consider mental health–focused intentions that support your well-being:
✅ Regular mental health check ins — notice changes in mood, stress, or energy
🎯 Set realistic goals — progress matters more than perfection
🕯 Prioritize self-care — movement, rest, and nourishment all support mental health
🫶 Be kind to yourself and others — compassion matters more than comparison
💬 Stay connected — reach out to friends, family, or support systems
🤝 Ask for help when needed — seeking support is a sign of strength, not failure

A new year doesn’t require a perfect plan — just small, meaningful steps forward.

Wherever you’re starting from, you deserve compassion, support, and the opportunity for a better year ahead.

Here’s to new beginnings, renewed hope, and taking care of your mental health in 2026 💙

Ever wondered “How do I know if I qualify for a clinical trial?”

Let's walk through our site's process!

At Collective Medical Research, we guide you through each step with clarity, care, and zero pressure.

Here’s what you can expect:

1️⃣ Quick prescreen over the phone
We’ll ask a few questions about your health, symptoms, and medical history. This helps us see if a study might be a good fit. (Takes just a few minutes!)

2️⃣ If it looks promising → we schedule an in-person screening visit
At this visit, our team reviews your medical background, asks more detailed questions, and completes any study-required assessments, vitals, labs or questionnaires. This visit helps determine if you meet the study’s criteria.

3️⃣ After your screening visit is complete
We send your information and lab results to the study sponsor for review. This part can take a little time — but we'll keep you updated.

4️⃣ If you’re medically approved — you’re officially in! 🎉
We’ll schedule your randomization visit, where you begin the study and attend the remaining visits outlined in the trial schedule.

Throughout the process, all study-related care is provided at no cost, and our trials offer compensation for time and participation for those who qualify.

If you’re in the KC area and curious about a specific study or want to see if one might be a fit, we’re here to help.

As Christmas approaches, we know this season can feel joyful for some — and heavy for others.

If you’re navigating loss, loneliness, distance from loved ones, or simply feeling overwhelmed, we want you to know something important:

✨ Your feelings are valid. And you’re not alone.

While the holidays often bring busy schedules and high expectations, they can also heighten stress, grief, and symptoms of anxiety or depression. Taking care of your mental health matters — today and every day.

Here are a few gentle reminders this Christmas Eve:

🎄 Give yourself permission to feel what you feel. Grief, stress, and mixed emotions are all normal during the holidays.
💬 Reach out if you need support. A quick message, phone call, or visit can make a meaningful difference.
💆‍♂️ Take small breaks to reset. A short walk, deep breaths, or quiet moment can help ease overwhelm.
🤝 Lean into connection in whatever form you can. Whether it’s family, friends, faith, pets, or community — connection is powerful.
🫶 Be kind to yourself. Rest, eat, hydrate, and move at a pace that feels right for you.

From all of us at Collective Medical Research, we wish you peace, comfort, and moments of joy wherever this season finds you.

Thank you for being part of our community and for allowing us to continue supporting mental health in Kansas City for 30 years.

If you’re struggling, remember — help and hope are always within reach 💙

Winter is officially here — and while the season brings cozy moments, it can also bring new challenges for your mental health ❄️💙

Shorter days, colder weather, and reduced sunlight can impact mood, energy levels, and motivation.

For many, this time of year can worsen symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of depression that typically occurs during the fall and winter months.

Here are a few simple, evidence-based ways to support your mental well-being this winter:

🔆 Get sunlight when you can: Even 10–15 minutes of natural light can help regulate your mood and sleep cycle.
🕺 Move your body: Gentle movement — a walk, stretching, or any activity you enjoy — can boost endorphins and reduce stress.
🔄 Keep a routine: Consistent sleep, meals, and daily structure help stabilize mood and reduce overwhelm.
☕ Engage in small comforts: Warm drinks, cozy blankets, journaling, or calming music can provide grounding and relief.
🤝 Stay connected: Reach out to friends, family, or support groups. Social connection is a powerful protective factor for mental health.
👩‍⚕️ Seek help if you're struggling: If you notice persistent low mood, fatigue, or loss of interest, talking with a healthcare professional can make a meaningful difference.

Remember — if winter feels heavier this year, you’re not alone. Many people experience mood changes this time of year, and support is available.

Let’s take care of ourselves and each other this season 💙

Do you ever wonder if what you’re feeling is just stress — or something more?

Many people living with frequent anxiety don’t always recognize the signs, especially if they’ve adapted to feeling “on edge” most days. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) often develops gradually and can show up in ways you might not immediately link to anxiety.

Here are a few symptoms people often overlook:
😬 Constant worry or overthinking — even about everyday situations
😣 Feeling restless or unable to relax
🤕 Muscle tension, headaches, or stomach discomfort
😴 Trouble falling or staying asleep
😵 Feeling easily overwhelmed or irritable
😕 Difficulty concentrating or a “foggy” mind

If these symptoms feel familiar, you’re not alone — GAD affects millions of adults each year, and many go years without realizing their anxiety isn’t “just how life is.”

We’re currently enrolling for an outpatient research trial for adults experiencing frequent anxiety. Here’s what to know:

✔️ All study visits are outpatient
✔️ Compensation is provided to those who qualify
✔️ Double-blind study, but there is a 2 in 3 chance of receiving the study medication
✔️ Study-related care at no cost

You deserve support, clarity, and relief — not a life ruled by constant worry.
If anxiety is affecting your daily routine, relationships, sleep, or overall well-being, reaching out could be the first step toward meaningful change.

📱 Send us a PM or call 913-381-7180 to learn more.

You don’t have to navigate anxiety alone — help is available, and healing is possible 💙

If you’ve ever received a patient payment or needed help with reimbursement questions, you’ve likely worked with Calee — and we truly couldn’t do what we do without her 💙

As a key part of our administrative and patient support team, Calee manages the majority of our patient payments and is always ready to assist with any payment-related questions that come up along the way. Her care and commitment to our participants helps ensure they feel supported from start to finish.

Calee also plays an important role at our sister practice, Village Therapeutics, where she handles medication delivery and insurance coordination — ensuring patients get the care and prescriptions they need.

Her reliability, kindness, and behind-the-scenes dedication does not go unnoticed, and we’re incredibly grateful for the impact she makes every day.

Help us give Calee some appreciation for all she does for our participants and our team! 💙

Curious about medication side effects? You’re not alone — it’s one of the more common questions we get.

Because our research trials are medication-based, we want every participant to feel informed, supported, and confident before making any decisions.

Here’s what you should know:

✅ Some of our study medications are already FDA-approved (even if used for a different condition). In those cases, we’re able to share the medication name so you can do additional research on your own if you’d like.

✅ Other study medications are not yet on the market, but they have already gone through earlier phases of human testing. We do not conduct Phase 1 trials — meaning we only work with medications that have established safety data.

✅ Before participating, you’ll receive an Informed Consent Form (ICF) at your first visit. This document outlines:

📝 What the trial involves
📝 Study schedule
📝 Potential risks and benefits
📝 Most commonly reported side effects

❓ And of course, you’re always welcome to ask questions.
Our team is happy to walk through the details with you so you can make the decision that’s best for you.

Your comfort, safety, and understanding matter to us.
We’re here to help you feel supported — every step of the way.
