Summary

This study looks at people who still have chronic back or leg pain after back surgery, a condition called Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS). Researchers want to better understand what causes this pain and how to diagnose it faster. They will collect detailed information from 200 patients to help doctors choose the right treatments earlier.
