Acute or chronic pain located in the posterior regions of the thorax; lumbosacral region; or the adjacent regions.
It is a spinal pain that emerges from several different parts of your backbone. So, considering the particular spine section where the pain initiates, dorsalgia can be categorized into six types: cervical, cervicothoracic, thoracic, thoracolumbar, lumbar, and lumbosacral.
In our analysis, patients affected by dorsalgia in various spinal regions (cervical, thoracic, lumbar) all suffered from neuropathic pain.
