BROOMFIELD, CO, March 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Aclarion, Inc., (“Aclarion” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ACON, ACONW), a healthcare technology company that is leveraging biomarkers and proprietary augmented intelligence algorithms to help physicians identify the location of chronic low back pain, announced today the publication of the clinical paper, Establishing a Gold Standard for Noninvasive Identification of Painful Lumbar Discs: Prospective Comparison of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy vs Low-Pressure Provocation Discography by the International Journal of Spine Surgery, the official scientific journal of the International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery (ISASS).

Key Points: 
  • Nociscan demonstrated a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 80% compared to provocative discography (PD), suggesting Nociscan provides better information to surgeons.
  • Low-pressure provocative discography (PD) has served as the gold standard, despite well-documented drawbacks including being highly invasive and presenting difficult-to-interpret results.
  • Achieving a result of 100% sensitivity (5/5 lumbar discs) means that in this study if discography indicates a disc is painful, then Nociscan will also indicate that the disc is painful.
  • We look forward to introducing Nociscan to a growing number of physicians and patients.”
