    • Abstract:
      Anterior, lateral, and posterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndromes have been proposed as etiologies of trunk pain. However, while these syndromes are analogous, comprehensive reports contrasting the three subtypes are lacking. We therefore reviewed the literature on anterior, lateral, and posterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome. We searched the PubMed and Cochrane Library databases twice for relevant articles published between March and September 2022. In addition to 16 letters, technical reports, and review articles, a further 62, 6, and 3 articles concerning anterior, lateral, and posterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndromes, respectively, were included. These syndromes are usually diagnosed based solely on unique history and examination findings; however, the diagnostic process may be prolonged, and multiple re-evaluations are required. The most common first-line treatment is trigger point injection; however, the management of refractory cases remains unclear. Awareness of this disease should be expanded to medical departments other than general medicine.
