Aclarion Announces CLARITY Trial for Nociscan Now Fully Funded
Aclarion (NASDAQ: ACON) has secured nearly $20 million in gross proceeds in 2025 to fully fund its pivotal CLARITY trial, a prospective, randomized, multicenter study designed to validate Nociscan's effectiveness in improving surgical outcomes for chronic low back pain patients.
The CLARITY trial, led by Dr. Nicholas Theodore of Johns Hopkins, will enroll 300 patients across multiple sites. Nociscan is the first evidence-supported SaaS platform that helps physicians identify painful discs in the lumbar spine through MR Spectroscopy and AI, showing a 97% surgical success rate at one-year follow-up when all Nociscan-identified pain-positive discs are treated.
The technology addresses a significant global healthcare challenge, with approximately 266 million people worldwide suffering from degenerative spine disease and low back pain.

Insights
The securing of
What sets Nociscan apart is its unique combination of MR Spectroscopy and AI to objectively quantify chemical biomarkers associated with disc pain. The preliminary
The trial's comprehensive funding eliminates execution risk and positions Aclarion to potentially secure broad payer coverage. This is important because current diagnostic methods for chronic low back pain are largely subjective, leading to suboptimal surgical outcomes and unnecessary procedures. A validated, objective diagnostic tool could substantially reduce healthcare costs by improving surgical selection and outcomes.
The 300-patient enrollment across multiple sites is statistically significant and well-designed to demonstrate clinical utility. If successful, Nociscan could become the new standard of care in spine surgery, potentially generating substantial recurring revenue through its SaaS model while significantly improving patient care.
