WHAT CAUSES SCHMORL'S NODULES? Schmorl's nodules tend to occur after trauma to the spine that causes wear and tear to it over time. Usually, if repeated trauma caused the formation of Schmorl's nodule, the patient does not remember a specific motion that caused the pain to begin.
In a more recent study published in the European Spine Journal by Takahashi, et al.,2 an analysis and correlation was made in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with MRI evidence of Schmorl's nodes. There were five patients with pain and Schmorl's nodes, and 11 asymptomatic controls. Symptomatic Schmorl's nodes were classified by physical exam, radiographs, MRI, and lab tests. All other possible etiologies were reportedly ruled out.
