Difference Between Subjects in Early Chronic Phase of Low Back Pain With and Without Neuropathic Component: Observational Cross-Sectional Study Chronic low back pain subjects with neuropathic pain were more painful and disabled, had lower motor and sensory scores, and lower relative thickness change of transversal abdominal muscle comparing to the low back pain group without neuropathic pain. Self -reported leg pain intensity of 5 or more on VAS, motor score of 47 and less, sensory scores of 25 and less and diminished activation of transversal abdominal muscle significantly increase the chance that chronic low back pain subject has neuropathic component of pain.
