A mechanism-based clinical framework for spine-related pain differentiates (i) somatic referred pain, ii) heightened nerve mechanosensitivity, iii) radicular pain, iv) radiculopathy and mixed-pain. This study aimed to determine the reliability of proposed framework.
Fifty-one people with unilateral spine-related neck-arm pain were assessed and categorized by examiner-1. The classifications were compared to those made by two other examiners, based on written documentation of examiner-1. Cohens kappa was calculated between examiner-pairs; Fleiss Kappa among all examiners to assess agreement in classifying subgroups and entire framework.
Inter-rater-reliability showed moderate to almost perfect reliability (somatic: no variation, mechanosensitivity: 0.96 (95% CI 0.87-1.0) to 1.0 (95% CI: 1.0-1.0), radicular pain: 0.46 (95% CI: 0.19-0.69) to 0.62 (95% CI: 0.42-0.81), radiculopathy: 0.65 (95% CI: 0.43-0.84) to 0.80 (95% CI: 0.63-0.96) mixed-pain: 0.54 (95% CI: 0.21-0.81) to 0.75 (95% CI: 0.48-0.94). There was almost perfect to moderate reliability among all examiners (somatic: no variation, mechanosensitivity: 0.97 (95% CI: 0.82-1.0), radicular pain: 0.56 (95% CI: 0.40-0.71), radiculopathy: 0.74 (95% CI: 0.58-0.90), mixed-pain: 0.63 (95% CI: 0.47-0.79), entire framework: 0.64 (95% CI: 0.57-0.71)). Intra-rater-reliability showed substantial to almost perfect reliability (somatic: no variation, mechanosensitivity: 0.96 (95% CI: 0.87-1.0), radicular pain: 0.76 (95% CI: 0.57-0.92), radiculopathy: 0.84 (95% CI: 0.67-0.96), mixed-pain: 0.83 (95% CI: 0.60-1.0), entire framework: 0.80 (95% CI: 0.61-0.92).
Moderate to almost perfect reliability in subgrouping people with spine-related neck-arm pain and substantial reliability for entire framework support this classification's reliability.
基于机制的脊柱相关疼痛临床框架可区分 (i) 躯体牵涉痛，(ii) 神经机械敏感性增高，(iii) 根性痛，(iv) 神经根病和混合性疼痛。本研究旨在确定该框架的可靠性。
51 名单侧颈臂脊柱相关疼痛患者由 1 名检查者进行评估和分类。根据检查者 1 的书面记录，将这些分类与另外两名检查者的分类进行比较。计算检查者之间的 Cohen's kappa 值；计算所有检查者之间的 Fleiss Kappa 值，以评估分类亚组和整个框架的一致性。
组内可靠性显示中度至近乎完美的可靠性（躯体：无变化，机械敏感性：0.96（95%CI 0.87-1.0）至 1.0（95%CI：1.0-1.0），根性疼痛：0.46（95%CI：0.19-0.69）至 0.62（95%CI：0.42-0.81），神经根病：0.65（95%CI：0.43-0.84）至 0.80（95%CI：0.63-0.96），混合性疼痛：0.54（95%CI：0.21-0.81）至 0.75（95%CI：0.48-0.94）。所有检查者之间的可靠性近乎完美至中度（躯体：无变化，机械敏感性：0.97（95%CI 0.82-1.0），根性疼痛：0.56（95%CI 0.40-0.71），神经根病：0.74（95%CI 0.58-0.90），混合性疼痛：0.63（95%CI 0.47-0.79），整个框架：0.64（95%CI 0.57-0.71））。组内可靠性显示出实质性至近乎完美的可靠性（躯体：无变化，机械敏感性：0.96（95%CI 0.87-1.0），根性疼痛：0.76（95%CI 0.57-0.92），神经根病：0.84（95%CI 0.67-0.96），混合性疼痛：0.83（95%CI 0.60-1.0），整个框架：0.80（95%CI 0.61-0.92））。
对脊柱相关颈臂疼痛患者进行亚组分类的可靠性为中度至近乎完美，对整个框架的可靠性为实质性，支持该分类的可靠性。
