Abstract

During routine clinical evaluation it can be challenging to differentiate between lumbar radiculopathy (RAD) and lower back pain with non-radicular somatic referred pain (SRP) or even patients with axial non-radiating low back pain (LBP). Aims were to characterize patients with radiculopathy (RAD), axial low back pain (aLBP) and somatic referred pain (SRP) based on somatosensory profiles.
