Aclarion Technology Demonstrates Potential Beyond Surgical Planning in New Immune-Biomarker Study
Aclarion (Nasdaq:ACON) reported that its Nociscan MRS technology was used in an NIH-funded, ISSLS Best Paper Award study on chronic low back pain with Modic type 1 changes.By measuring intradiscal propionic acid, researchers identified immune-linked patient subgroups, suggesting potential Nociscan uses beyond surgical decision support in precision spine care.
