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
