Background Lumbar radicular pain is one of the most commonly encountered clinical
syndromes; however, its underlying mechanistic basis, and its relation to the natural history …

Background Painful lumbar radiculopathy is a neuropathic pain condition, commonly
attributed to nerve root inflammation/compression by disc herniation. The present …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The dorsal root ganglion (DRG) of the spinal nerve has
been considered a key structure in the mechanism of low-back pain and radicular …

Pain originating from spinal nerve roots demonstrates multiple pathogeneses. Distinctions in
the patho‐anatomy, biomechanics, and pathophysiology of spinal nerve roots contribute to …

Lateral disc herniation (foraminal and extra foraminal) has clinical characteristics that are
different from those of medial disc herniation (central and subarticular), including older age …

Objective—To determine if endoscopic‐assisted foraminotomy significantly increased the
area of the L7‐S1 intervertebral foramen and if, over 12 weeks, stenosis would occur. Study …

Study Design. Prospective study evaluating the oblique lumbar magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI). Objective. To present the technique of oblique lumbar MRI and assess the …

OBJECTIVE: Normal sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitude is a classical
neurographic rule whether damage is located proximal to the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) as …

Background: Owing to the anatomical difference between the far lateral herniation of the
lumbar disc (FHLD) and the intraspinal herniation of lumbar disc (iHLD), the outcome of …
