Radicular low back pain is one of the most common medical problems that cause decreased work competence and a heavy cost. ![]() In many MRI negative but symptomatic subjects, electrodiagnosis has an important diagnostic value. Coordination rates of MRI and electrodiagnosis with clinical findings were 58.6% and 89.5%, respectively. 104 cases (68.4%) had shown some type of abnormalities in both MRI and electrodiagnosis, 30 (19.7%) had shown this abnormality only in MRI, and 21 (13.8%) only in electrodiagnosis, while 10 cases (6.5%) had both normal MRI and electrodiagnostic studies. From 152 subjects who remained in the study, 67 cases (44.1%) had radicular pain in left lower limb, 46 (30.3%) in right, and 39 (25.6%) in both lower limbs. A comprehensive history and physical examinations were taken from the subjects and recorded, and then MRI scanning and electrodiagnostic (nerve conduction velocity and electromyography) tests were performed. ![]() ![]() In this cross-sectional study, we studied 165 sciatalgic subjects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of MRI and electrodiagnosis in lower extremity radicular pain in relation to history and clinical findings.
