What is discogenic pain? How can we diagnose it? What are the processes causing discogenic pain, and how can we treat it? The concept of discogenic pain exist for many decades, yet there are no accepted clinical standards how to diagnose and treat them. In this seminar we will illuminate the concept of discogenic pain with their newest findings from clinical cohorts and from molecular investigations of animal models.
