7-Tesla MRI study of the spine in people with no symptoms
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be older than 18 years
- You must be able to give written informed consent
- Either you have had back pain for more than 2 months without recent injury, or you have no symptoms for the study’s “normal” comparison
- You cannot have had spine surgery in the past
- You must be able to safely have an MRI (no MRI safety contraindications) and you cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding

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.
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 strong MRI brain scanner to better understand conditions like migraine, visual snow, or epilepsy that don’t fully respond to treatment. You may be able to join if you meet specific diagnosis and safety requirements for the scanner.
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.
