Medical experts are pushing for a less aggressive treatment for sinus infections, which are among the most aggravating medical conditions, DIAGNOSED in around 31million Americans each year.
Over here DIAGNOSING a better choice than DIAGNOSED?
"Aggravating medical conditions, diagnosed" - here diagnosed is verb ed modifier that is modifying the medical conditions, right?
We have "Medical Experts" as subject of preceding clause (the main clause). ", which .... medical conditions" is just modifying Sinus Infection. Subject Verb of preceding (main) clause is modified by "diagnosing". This is the perfect case of "comma Verbing"
If we use diagnosed (i.e. Verbed), then it will modify immediate noun i.e. aggravating medical conditions. This is not the intended meaning. It's Sinus Infection that is diagnosed not the aggravating medical conditions. IMHO: Diseases can be diagnosed but not medical conditions.
Is my understanding correct?
Can you please explain?

I would pick "diagnosed" mainly because "diagnosing" doesn't sound correct.
Medical experts are pushing for a less aggressive treatment for sinus infections, which are among the most aggravating medical conditions, DIAGNOSING in around 31million Americans each year.
In my opinion, when you read the sentence more than once, it looks like "infections" is being modified with "diagnosed."

However, I would like a better explanation too. What is the Official Answer?
