• Expands availability of Nociscan in the greater Los Angeles area with leading neuroscience group
  • Adds to growing body of real-world evidence with study comparing chemical biomarker data from Nociscan with bone metabolic information from SPECT-CT
  • Supports scalable growth strategy while building data assets critical to payer and provider adoption

BROOMFIELD, Colo., June 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aclarion, Inc ., (“Aclarion” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ACON, ACONW), a commercial-stage healthcare technology company that is leveraging biomarkers and proprietary augmented intelligence (AI) algorithms through its Nociscan ® platform to help physicians identify the location of chronic low back pain and support improved treatment success rates, announced today it has established an agreement with the Institute of Neuro Innovation (INI) , an industry-leading clinic in Los Angeles focused on research, innovation, and applied neuroscience.

The agreement aligns with Aclarion’s expansion strategy by bringing Nociscan to the Institute of Neuro Innovation and the multidisciplinary team led by neurosurgeon, Amir Vokshoor, MD. The agreement will enable Dr. Vokshoor and the INI team to generate real-world evidence evaluating how the unique insights provided by SPECT-CT and Nociscan may work in conjunction to enable physicians to make more precise treatment decisions for patients with chronic low back pain. SPECT-CT provides insights about bone metabolic activity while Nociscan measures pain-related chemical biomarkers inside each lumbar disc.

“We founded INI to leverage research and innovation in order to enhance the applied expertise of our team,” said Amir Vokshoor, MD, neurosurgeon and founder of the Institute for Neuro Innovation. “Chronic low back pain has become one of the most common issues we treat. Status quo diagnostic tools, like MRI, cannot always provide clear diagnostic insights to the complex spinal anatomy. The industry has adopted other tools, like SPECT-CT, which have proven to have value, but limited applicability. We are pleased to add MR Spectroscopy and Nociscan to our armamentarium. The peer-reviewed, published evidence supporting Nociscan is compelling and we look forward to experiencing the differentiated value it provides compared with other tests like MRI and SPECT-CT.”

Chronic low back pain (cLBP) 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.

About Aclarion, Inc.

Aclarion is a healthcare technology company that leverages Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (“MRS”), proprietary signal processing techniques, biomarkers, and augmented intelligence algorithms to optimize clinical treatments. The Company is first addressing the chronic low back pain market with Nociscan, the first, evidence-supported, SaaS platform to noninvasively help physicians distinguish between painful and nonpainful discs in the lumbar spine. Through a cloud connection, Nociscan receives magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) data from an MRI machine for each lumbar disc being evaluated. In the cloud, proprietary signal processing techniques extract and quantify chemical biomarkers demonstrated to be associated with disc pain. Biomarker data is entered into proprietary algorithms to indicate if a disc may be a source of pain. When used with other diagnostic tools, Nociscan provides critical insights into the location of a patient’s low back pain, giving physicians clarity to optimize treatment strategies.
