Cluneal Neuralgia

Cluneal neuralgia is a neuropathic pain condition resulting from irritation or entrapment of the cluneal nerves, which supply sensation to the lower back and buttocks. This condition often presents as chronic lower back pain and may be misdiagnosed due to its similarity to other lumbar disorders.

Symptoms

• Localized pain in the lower back or upper buttocks
  
• Burning or tingling sensations
  
• Pain exacerbated by sitting, standing, or movement
  
• Tenderness over the iliac crest
  
• Radiating pain into the groin or thigh
  

Causes

• Surgical procedures involving the lower back or pelvis
  
• Trauma or repetitive strain to the lower back
  
• Degenerative spinal changes
  
• Anatomical variations leading to nerve entrapment
