[Neuroradiographic diagnosis of degenerative disk diseases--the Dusseldorf Diagnostic Disk program. III. Reproduction of pain and instability].
The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between pain reproduction test and instability in order to point out the clinical significance of radiological instability. The pain reproduction test was correlated with segmental instability of 103 patients and with traction spurs of 172 patients. There was no statistical correlation with the mentioned parameter. Therefore instability is considered only as a morphological parameter but it has no clinical importance.
