That's one opinion.
My opinion is that the research is all over the map because the condition is so heterogeneous and so complex and so variable that researchers can't even narrow it down past genetics to metabolic or nervous system or whatever. So we see funded research on completely independent hypotheses. It sounds remarkable to me but I'm not in the medical research field and this amount of scatter might be usual.
I think it is fair to suggest that an empirical definitive solution will be adduced before they figure out the etiology. And I think it will be a non-fusion surgery that straightens and stabilizes the spine without giving up flexibility. I don't think something like a pill will be doing the trick here but I have no idea.
