Exploratory study for clinical signs of MODIC changes in patients with low-back pain in the Netherlands armed forces

ConclusionNo model to predict the presence of MC, based on clinical tests, could be demonstrated. It is therefore not likely that LBP patients with MC are very different from other LBP patients and that they form a specific subgroup. However, the study only explored a limited number of clinical findings and it is possible that larger samples allowing for more variables would conclude differently.
