<![CDATA[Low back pain (LBP) is a musculoskeletal disorder that is widely found in the community starting at the age of 25 years and increasing at 50 years. Patients who experience LBP mostly experience neuropathic pain as much as 37% which complicates management. The neuropathic pain component is rarely considered in First Level Health Facilities (FKTP) due to lack of knowledge about simple clinical instruments that can identify pain characteristics and lack of data or research on neuropathic pain in LBP in FKTP so that the management of neuropathic pain in LBP in FKTP is less comprehensive. Therefore, research on neuropathic pain in LBP patients in primary care facilities needs to be done.
