Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
All those patients with severe low back pain with radiculopathy and claudication will show positive nerve root sedimentation sign on axial sections of T2W MRI of lumbar spine in correlation with decreased dural sac cross section area.Timepoint: A patients are assessed in single time

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Correlation between nerve root sedimentation sign and other clinical measures like- visual analogue scaling (VAS)score and Oswestry Disabilty Index (ODI)Timepoint: Patients are assesessed in single time point after enrolling in the study.
