First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looked at 120 adults aged 50 and older with low back pain to see if the narrowing seen on MRI matches what patients report on questionnaires about their pain and daily function. Researchers compared three common patient surveys with two MRI grading systems. The goal was to understand how well imaging and patient experiences align, which could help guide treatment decisions.
