First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looked at 120 people aged 50 and older with low back pain to see how well MRI-based grading of lumbar spinal stenosis matches what patients report on disability and pain questionnaires. Researchers compared three common questionnaires (Oswestry Disability Index, Istanbul Low Back Pain Disability Index, and Swiss Spinal Stenosis Questionnaire) with MRI findings. The goal was to understand if imaging results align with patients' real-world symptoms and daily limitations.
