| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
One study entitled "Evaluation of age-related changes in lumbar fecet joints using T2 mapping" has been completed, and showed that T2 value of facet joints was significantly increased as age rose. This study was published in Journal of Orthopaedic Science.
Other two studies entitled "Relationship between T2 value of facet joints and low back pain arising from facet joints" and "Analysis of microRNA in degenerative facet joints" have been started just after approvals by our institutional ethical committee. Since their sample sizes have not satisfied yet, we have to continue these studies in 2020. After collecting enough samples, we will analyse these data and submit papers to international journals.
