Introduction: Extraforaminal lumbar disk herniations are characterized by distinct clinical features in comparison to paramedian lumbar disk herniations.Methods: We applied the quantitative sensory testing (QST) protocol of the German Research Network on Neuropathic Pain in 63 patients with a single lumbar disk herniation. They were categorized in 2 groups: (I) an intraspinal (group I; n = 47, 75%) and an extraforaminal (group E; n = 16, 25%).Results: The wind-up ratio for assessing endogenous pain-modulating pathways was higher in group E (2.9 ± 2) than in group I (1.4 ± 1; P = 0.021). After a subsequent series of pinprick stimuli, an increase in pain assessed by the numeric rating scale could be shown in group E (2.1 ± 2 vs 1.1 ± 1; P = 0.032).Discussion: Extraforaminal compression is associated with chronic as well as neuropathic pain, presumably caused by direct compression of the dorsal root ganglion, which may preferentially promote specific chronic pain mechanisms.
