Purpose

To describe the frequency of different patterns of pain response and their association with outcomes (prognosis) and MRI findings in patients experiencing sciatica.

Methods

176 consecutive consenting patients with radicular pain underwent an MRI and a clinical assessment at baseline using a standardized procedure of repeated lumbar movements and positioning guided. Based on their pain response, patients were divided into five groups: abolition centralization, reduction centralization, unstable centralization, peripheralization, and no effect on pain.
