Aclarion (Nasdaq: ACON) announced its participation in the 2025 Spine Summit, where Dr. Nicholas Theodore will showcase the company's NOCISCAN technology. NOCISCAN is a pioneering SaaS platform that combines MR Spectroscopy with augmented intelligence to help physicians identify the location of chronic low back pain.

Dr. Theodore, who serves as Professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and holds multiple director positions, will present 'NOCISCAN, Augmented Intelligence, and Low Back Pain Decision Support' on February 21, 2025. The technology is particularly significant given that approximately 266 million people worldwide suffer from degenerative spine disease and low back pain.

NOCISCAN is the first evidence-supported platform that noninvasively helps physicians distinguish between painful and nonpainful discs in the lumbar spine by objectively quantifying chemical biomarkers associated with disc pain.

Aclarion (NASDAQ: ACON) has received its 24th US patent through a Notice of Allowance from the USPTO. This patent expands the company's ability to use Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) for identifying propionic acid (PA) throughout the body as a potential biomarker for infection and pain. Previously, Aclarion's patents PA identification by MRS to intervertebral discs only.

The company's technology leverages MRS, a capability of common MRI scanners, to analyze chemical biomarkers within soft tissues. While traditional MRS post-processing faces challenges in generating quality data, Aclarion's patented innovations address these limitations, ensuring more reliable spectral data analysis for their Nociscan solution and other MRS applications.

Aclarion (NASDAQ: ACON) has announced Northwestern Medicine as the first site for its pivotal CLARITY trial, designed to demonstrate Nociscan's clinical and economic value in spine surgery. Northwestern Medicine, which led over 6,900 clinical studies with 372,561 participants in 2024, will participate in this groundbreaking randomized controlled trial.

The CLARITY trial is a fully funded, prospective, multi-center study that will evaluate 300 patients scheduled for surgical treatment of 1- or 2-level discogenic low back pain. The study will compare surgical outcomes between surgeons who are blinded and unblinded to Nociscan results. Nociscan is the first evidence-supported SaaS platform that helps physicians distinguish between painful and nonpainful discs in the lumbar spine through MR Spectroscopy and AI technology.

Aclarion (NASDAQ: ACON) announced that its Nociscan product is featured in the RSNA Edition of Siemens Healthineers magazine, MAGNETOM Flash. The article showcases how physicians incorporate Nociscan into their clinical practices for chronic low back pain patients. Nociscan is the first evidence-supported SaaS platform that helps physicians noninvasively distinguish between painful and nonpainful discs in the lumbar spine by quantifying chemical biomarkers associated with disc pain. The feature will be highlighted at the RSNA annual meeting from December 1-4, 2024, and is expected to serve as a valuable reference for the medical community.

Aclarion (Nasdaq: ACON), a healthcare technology company specializing in chronic low back pain diagnosis through biomarkers and AI algorithms, has announced its participation in the upcoming Virtual Investor Summit Microcap Event on November 21st, 2024.

Aclarion, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACON) announced that its Nociscan AI solution played a key role in a study to better understand Modic changes (MC) in chronic low back pain (cLBP) patients. The study, presented at the 50th International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine Annual Meeting 2024, utilized Nociscan to measure intradiscal propionic acid (PA) levels adjacent to vertebral endplates with MC.

The research, conducted by the REACH Center at UCSF, aimed to clarify the biopsychosocial mechanisms of cLBP. Results suggest that PA levels may be useful in understanding why some MC patients improve or respond to treatment while others do not. Nociscan's ability to noninvasively quantify chemical biomarkers associated with disc pain could potentially lead to personalized treatment plans for cLBP patients, including the possibility of using antibiotics as a first-line treatment for those with high PA levels.

Aclarion, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACON) has provided a corporate update on their Nociscan AI technology, which aids in identifying chronic low back pain sources. Key milestones include:

1. Three of four largest private UK insurers now cover Nociscan
2. Partnership with ten prominent KOL surgeons in the US
3. Strategic partnership with ATEC to expand KOL network
4. Multiple commercial agreements in key US markets
5. Participation in NIH's BEST Trial with 800+ patients
6. Launch of CLARITY, a flagship clinical study

The company's technology is protected by 23 US patents and 17 international patents. Aclarion aims to establish Nociscan as a standard of care for chronic low back pain, addressing a $134 billion annual healthcare expenditure in the US.
