BROOMFIELD, Colo. — Aclarion, Inc., (“Aclarion” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ACON, ACONW), a healthcare technology company that is leveraging biomarkers and proprietary augmented intelligence (AI) algorithms to help physicians identify the location of chronic low back pain, today announced the addition of Lanman Spinal Neurosurgery as a clinical site in its CLARITY (Chronic Low bAck pain Randomized Independent Tr
Based in Beverly Hills, Lanman Spinal Neurosurgery is a leading spine-focused private practice known for its expertise in complex spinal procedures, early adoption of advanced technologies aimed at improving patient outcomes and high surgical volume. The inclusion of a premier private practice site reflects the growing interest in integrating Nociscan into real-world clinical workflows beyond academic medical centers.
“I have spent more than 25 years practicing spinal surgery in Beverly Hills, and my perspective is shaped not only by that experience, but also by having undergone multiple spine surgeries myself,” said Todd Lanman, MD, Neurosurgeon and Founder of Lanman Spinal Neurosurgery. “We have made significant progress in moving beyond one-size-fits-all solutions for low back pain, driven by advances in technology and technique. Nociscan introduces a new layer of clarity by leveraging MR Spectroscopy to identify pain-generating discs in ways that standard MRI cannot. The CLARITY trial is particularly important because it is designed to evaluate how this technology can enhance clinical decision-making by more precisely identifying pain-generating discs. This ability to match the right procedure to the right patient is what moves the field forward.”
The addition of Lanman Spinal Neurosurgery marks an important milestone in the continued expansion of the 300-patient CLARITY trial, a prospective, randomized, multi-center study evaluating Nociscan in patients undergoing surgical treatment (Fusion / TDR) for discogenic low back pain. The primary endpoint is change in back pain as measured on a 100mm VAS Back at 12 months compared to baseline, with several secondary endpoints collected. The company anticipates having an initial internal data readout and an expected public disclosure of early interim results in Q4 2026.
“Private practice spine surgeons play a critical role in treating the majority of patients suffering from chronic low back pain, and the inclusion of Lanman Spinal Neurosurgery reflects the growing demand for more precise, data-driven tools in everyday clinical practice,” said Ryan Bond, Chief Strategy Officer of Aclarion. “Dr. Lanman is widely recognized for his commitment to innovation and patient-centered care, and we are excited to partner with his team as we continue to expand CLARITY and generate the high-quality evidence needed to advance Nociscan.”
Chronic low back pain is a global healthcare problem with approximately 266 million people worldwide suffering from degenerative spine disease and low back pain. Aclarion’s Nociscan solution is the first evidence-supported SaaS platform to noninvasively help physicians distinguish between painful and nonpainful discs in the lumbar spine. Nociscan objectively quantifies chemical biomarkers demonstrated to be associated with disc pain. When used with other diagnostic tools, Nociscan provides critical insights into the location of a patient’s low back pain and demonstrates a 97% surgical success rate when all Nociscan-positive discs are treated.
