ABSTRACT

Background: Chronic low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent and disabling condition frequently associated with
intervertebral Disc Degeneration (DD), although imaging findings often poorly correlate with symptoms. Emerging
biophysical therapies such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Therapy (NMRT) aim to modulate cellular activity
and promote tissue repair. Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of targeted NMRT (tNMR) in 150 patients
with chronic LBP associated with Disc Degeneration. Methods: This prospective, clinical trial was conducted at a
tertiary Orthopaedic centre in Bengaluru. Patients with clinically and radiologically confirmed disc pathology were
enrolled and allocated to the tNMR treatment group. All participants received standardized polymodular non
surgical therapy. Clinical outcomes were assessed using validated measures of pain and functional disability, while
structural changes were evaluated through MRI. Results: Patients receiving tNMR demonstrated significant
improvement in pain reduction and functional outcomes compared to baseline. MRI findings suggested favourable
structural changes in intervertebral disc morphology. The intervention was well tolerated with no major adverse
effects. Conclusion: Targeted NMRT appears to be a safe and effective non-invasive modality for managing
chronic LBP associated with disc degeneration, offering potential benefits in both symptomatic relief and structural
recovery.
