The Comparison of Cost-Effectiveness Between Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Provocative Discography in the Identification of Chronic Low Back Pain Surgery Candidates by Wilson L, Beall DP, Eastlack RK, Berven S, Lotz JC

“…MRS was the dominant diagnostic strategy, with better clinical outcomes and cost savings. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis confirmed MRS dominance and was cost-effective across a wide range of willingness-to-pay thresholds and across 2 different scenarios which vary base-case outcomes and surgical rates.Conclusion: This study demonstrates cost-effectiveness dominance of MRS with the Nociscan diagnostic algorithm over PD for identifying CLBP surgical candidates. …”
