Modic changes and its association with other MRI phenotypes in east Anatolian low back pain patients.

Published in: British journal of neurosurgery (2022)

The present study is the largest cross-sectional study of adult members of the Eastern Anatolian population with chronic LBP. Modic changes were detected in 67.2% of patients with chronic LBP and the prevalence of other phenotypic features differed significantly between MCs and non-MCs disc levels. Nevertheless, the results of the current study do not support a causal relationship of MCs or any MRI changes with clinical symptom severity.
