Low back pain classifications and their associations with disability, quality-of-life, and sociodemographic factors: a comprehensive examination using the PainDETECT questionnaire.

NeP was associated with higher levels of disability and lower QoL. Smokers, individuals with a no partner marital status, and individuals with a lower income class were more likely to suffer NeP rather than NoP. These findings have illuminated a crucial notion: in patients with elevated NRS, the detrimental impact of NeP on patient wellbeing underscores the fundamental need to represent pain on a nociceptive-neuropathic continuum, permitting more accurate differentiation of pain components.
