Clinical Trial: Association of Subcutaneous Fat Index, Paraspinal Muscle Characteristics, and Facet Morphology With Lumbar Facet Joint Degeneration

U.S., Oct. 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07860697) titled 'Association of Subcutaneous Fat Index, Paraspinal Muscle Characteristics, and Facet Morphology With Lumbar Facet Joint Degeneration' on Sept. 30.

Brief Summary: This prospective observational study aims to investigate the association between subcutaneous fat index, paraspinal muscle characteristics, facet morphology, and lumbar facet joint degeneration in adults with chronic low back pain. The study will use lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) obtained as part of routine clinical care. The study will evaluate whether subcutaneous fat index is associated with moderate-to-severe lumbar facet joint degeneration and will also examine...
