摘　　要：Background: Involvement of lumbar spinal nerve root, revealed as pain, numbness or weakness in the lower limbs. Typically caused by the compression of nerve at the spine level. Objective: The purpose of the study was to examine the patients with clinically presumed lumbar radiculopathy and find the correlation between their electrodiagnostic study and magnetic resonance imaging. Setting, duration and study type: Retrospective cross-sectional study of one year (January 2019 - February 2020) in Shifa International Hospital Islamabad. Methods: A total of 96 patients with clinically suspected lumbar radiculopathy were included. Chi-square test, international business machines (IBM) SPSS rendition 21.0 was applied on the clinical information, electrodiagnostic study and MRI were coordinated and affectability and particularity were judged. Selected patients were undergone both electrodiagnostic study and magnetic imaging resonance in the selected 1-year span. The study investigated correlation between both diagnostic tools in lumbar radiculopathy patients. Expected outcomes: Anatomical specificity in seen through magnetic resonance imaging while physiological through electrodiagnostic study, which may not correlate in the evaluation of lumbar radiculopathy.Background: Involvement of lumbar spinal nerve root, revealed as pain, numbness or weakness in the lower limbs.
