Aclarion, Inc. launched its pivotal CLARITY trial at Northwestern Medicine, a leading clinical trial research center. The CLARITY trial aims to demonstrate the clinical and economic benefits of Nociscan, Aclarion’s AI-powered diagnostic platform for chronic low back pain, in guiding spine surgery. The trial’s commencement at a prestigious institution underscores the growing interest in innovative solutions for chronic low back pain.
This development is crucial because it signals a significant step towards validating Nociscan’s potential to improve surgical outcomes and reduce healthcare costs associated with chronic low back pain. A successful trial could lead to wider adoption of Nociscan, transforming the diagnosis and treatment of this prevalent condition. It also positions Aclarion as a key player in the growing market for AI-driven healthcare solutions.
The CLARITY trial is a prospective, randomized, multi-center study involving 300 patients undergoing surgery for discogenic low back pain. Patients will receive a Nociscan scan before surgery, and surgeons will be randomly assigned to either a blinded or unblinded group regarding Nociscan results. The primary endpoint is the change in back pain at 12 months post-surgery. The study’s design, with its focus on measurable outcomes and a robust sample size, is intended to provide compelling evidence for Nociscan’s efficacy.
The initiation of the CLARITY trial marks a pivotal moment for Aclarion. Positive results could significantly accelerate the adoption of Nociscan, establishing it as a standard diagnostic tool for chronic low back pain. This could lead to improved patient outcomes, reduced healthcare expenditures, and substantial growth for Aclarion in a large and underserved market. The trial’s progress and results will be closely watched by both clinicians and investors.
