Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We revealed that the Modic change of the lumbar spine was significantly and independently associated with the low back pain after adhustment for the disc degeneration and the nucleus pulposus displacement, which are the causes of the low back pain. In addition, the VAS score for low back pain was higher in subjects with Type I Modic changes than in subjects without Modic changes. Therefore, this results indicated that Type I Modic changes were associated with more severe low back pain. It was published in an international journal as a research result that it can be a factor of inflammatory pain and that it is more involved in inflammatory pain than other types.
