Aclarion, Inc., a commercial-stage healthcare technology company, today reported that nearly 100 Nociscan procedures have been conducted at The London Clinic, one of the United Kingdom's leading private hospitals. The announcement, accompanied by a new physician video featuring Mr. John Sutcliffe, Consultant Spinal Neurosurgeon and Lead Clinician at The London Spine Clinic, underscores the growing adoption of Nociscan in routine clinical practice for evaluating chronic low back pain.
Mr. Sutcliffe, who has over 30 years of experience treating spinal conditions, shared his perspective on using Nociscan. "Nociscan provides an additional layer of insight that complements traditional imaging," he said. "Having more objective data can help inform clinical decisions and improve confidence when evaluating patients with chronic low back pain." The video is available here.
Nociscan is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that leverages MR spectroscopy and proprietary signal processing to identify chemical biomarkers associated with disc pain in the lumbar spine. By differentiating between painful and non-painful discs, it provides physicians with critical insights to optimize treatment strategies. The sustained use at The London Clinic reflects increasing physician engagement and integration into clinical workflows.
"Approaching 100 scans at a leading international center like The London Clinic is an important indicator of increasing adoption and reinforces the potential for Nociscan to become a valuable tool in the evaluation of chronic low back pain," said Brent Ness, Chief Executive Officer of Aclarion.
Chronic low back pain affects approximately 266 million people worldwide. When used alongside other diagnostic tools, clinical data has demonstrated up to a 97% surgical success rate when all Nociscan-positive discs are treated. The company's platform uses Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) and augmented intelligence algorithms to noninvasively help physicians locate pain sources.
Aclarion continues to expand access to Nociscan. To find a Nociscan center, view the site map here. For more information, visit www.aclarion.com.
