FJVIS 16. Chronic Low Back Pain Associated With Proximal Venous Outflow Obstruction

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is highly prevalent, associated with substantial socioeconomic impact, and commonly attributed to neurologic and musculoskeletal causes.

We undertook this study to better characterize these patients.
