NCT ID NCT07256366
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will check how well standard X-rays and MRIs can spot common spinal bone variations (transitional vertebrae) and correctly identify the disc that is causing pain. Researchers will look at scans from 250 adults with back and leg pain to see if routine imaging alone is accurate enough, or if doctors need extra whole-spine images. The goal is to reduce mistakes in spinal diagnosis.
