Ultra-high-resolution MRI of the spine
This study uses a very powerful 7 Tesla MRI scanner to take detailed pictures of the spine. It compares people with long-term back pain to healthy volunteers to better understand normal spine anatomy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had back pain for more than 2 months (not from a recent injury), or you have no back pain and want to help as a healthy volunteer.
- You have not had surgery on your spine before.
- You do not have a spine tumor or other active cancer.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have no other reasons that would make an MRI unsafe (like metal implants or claustrophobia).

This study uses a very strong MRI scanner to look at the spine’s fine details. It may help researchers better understand normal spine anatomy and how it appears in people with chronic back pain.
This study is testing a very strong MRI machine (7-Tesla) to see how well it can take pictures of muscles, joints, bones, nerves, or the brain. It might help doctors see injuries or conditions more clearly compared to standard MRI machines.
This study uses MRI scans to look at brain and body changes after a spinal cord injury. It may help researchers understand how the nervous system recovers over time.
This study uses a special MRI scan of the nerves in the neck to help doctors better understand how nerves look and work. You may not get any direct benefit from taking part, but your participation could help improve future diagnosis and treatment for patients with nerve problems.
This study uses a very powerful MRI scanner (7T) to take detailed pictures of the brain and spinal cord in people with motor neuron disease. The goal is to find non-invasive markers that could help diagnose and monitor the disease.
This study looks at MRI images of the lower back to see how body fat, back muscles, and small spine joints relate to long-term back pain. It may help doctors understand back pain better and improve future treatments.
