Background: Spinal disc herniation (cervical and/or lumbar) is common and can cause significant pain (localized or radicular) disability. Up to authors' knowledge, no systematic review was identified to provide the best available evidence about the relation between the size of herniated disc and pain severity level in patients.
Purpose: To pool and summarize the published research evidence examining the relationship between size of herniated spinal disc and pain severity level in patients with spinal disc herniation.
