Back pain and leg pain in relation to different types of MRI nerve root sign with and without radiculopathy. Overall, only associations with leg pain were statistically significant, back pain being borderline (p = 0.056, Table 3). Statistical significance by type of MRI nerve root sign indicated by ‘*’. Negative values should be interpreted as less pain as compared to the reference group (no MRI nerve root sign). B1, nerve root touch; B2, nerve root displacement; B3, nerve root compression, ‘rad’ indicating + radiculopathy
