Patients often complain of numbness.

This includes several situations as follows: I) tingling abnormal sensations that are close to pain,
ii) the sensation of the skin is dull, and iii) the movement of extremities are stiff and rigid.
Thus, various conditions are observed for the combination of numbness and neuralgia.

There is some difference in the perception between patients and medical professionals.
The progress situation of numbness and pain has been important.
For example, low back pain is classified into three types due to persisting period,
which are acute less than 4-weeks, subacute for 4-weeks to 3-months, and chronic for
more than 3-months. As described above, detail medical interviews, diagnosis and treatment
