Researchers from Oslo University Hospital have conducted a multicentre, case-control biopsy study to investigate the relationship between bacterial growth and Modic changes (MCs) in patients with low back pain (LBP). The study aims to minimize contamination risk, include a control group, and optimize statistical power. Tissue samples will be taken from patients with and without MCs, and microbiological methods and histology will be used to analyze the samples. The results of the study will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals, scientific conferences, and patient forums. [Extracted from the article] |
