Abstract

In modern society, chronic low back pain is a common disease and is the most common cause of limiting social and economic activities in the population over the age of 45. Unlike general chronic low back pain patients, there may be cases of complaining of non-specific symptoms. However, it is difficult to diagnose or treat neuropathic chronic low back pain patients because they have a more complex pathophysiology than simple low back pain. Neuropathic chronic low back pain is caused by abnormal pain inducing mechanisms due to damage and dysfunction of the nervous system from the peripheral to the brain. Symptoms can occur anywhere in the vertebral or paravertebral structures where nociceptors are distributed. It is difficult to diagnose neuropathic back pain. Early and appropriate treatment can prevent the nervous system from being improperly adapted to become chronic pain syndrome, so it is very important as a clinician to access and diagnose neuropathic pain as easily as possible and apply general treatment early. Therefore, in this review article, based on literatures and research results on chronic low back pain with neuropathic component, we understand diseases and suggest directions for clinical applications.
