New insight to the characteristics and clinical course of clusters of patients with imaging confirmed disc ‐related sciatica

ConclusionsUsing a strict diagnosis of sciatica, this work identified four clusters of patients primarily differentiated by back and leg pain severity. Patients with severe back and leg pain had the most  severe profile at baseline and follow‐up irrespective of intervention. This simple classification system may be useful when considering prognosis and management with sciatica patients.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
