About Our Research Physicians

Thomas L. Yearwood MD, PhD

Medical Director, ALGOS Education & Research Trust

YearwoodDr. Yearwood received undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees in Engineering from Tulane University before going on to graduate from LSU Medical School. His advanced education in the fields of engineering and medicine has enabled him to participate in clinical and regulatory research over the last 25 years. And as a member of the International Neuromodulation Society, he has made significant contributions to clinical neuroscience. Delivering compassionate care that enables each patient to participate more fully in every aspect of life is Dr. Yearwood's mission.

Hunt Hapworth, MD

HapworthDr. Hunt Hapworth received his undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia and his medical degree from the University of Virginia School of Medicine, Charlottesville. He performed his residency in anesthesiology at UAB in Birmingham and his fellowship in pain medicine at University of Virginia. In addition to treating patients in clinic and surgery, Dr. Hapworth pursues neuroscience research at ALGOS Education & Research Trust. Participating in trials that could potentially be of great benefit to patients suffering chronic pain motivates this physician daily.

Neuroscience Innovation with an International Following. Right here on the Gulf Coast.

Our commitment to improving care for patients with chronic, debilitating pain never ends. Sometimes, it keeps us awake at night. We read, investigate, and hypothesize with nearly insatiable curiosity. It's why we have traveled from London to Mexico, Berlin to Uganda. It's why for nearly 25 years, we have participated in clinical trials involving numerous neurostimulation devices. And we've witnessed some amazing results.

Our quest continues today at Algos Research & Education Center in our Pascagoula clinic. Here, amid state-of-the-art operating rooms and viewing rooms, we perform clinical and regulatory research on behalf of the FDA, leading medical device firms, and pharmaceutical companies. And we do it for one reason: to deliver pain relief so you can participate more fully in every area of your life.

Past & Current Research:

  • Testing of Neurostimulation Devices
  • Design/Development of New Devices
  • Exploring Options to Make Therapies More Accessible
  • Combining Therapeutic Modalities to get Best Treatment for Least Intervention

"Because of you, we refuse to give up."
