    Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between neuropathic pain incidence and vitamin D levels in chronicmechanical low back pain.Material and Methods: Sixty patients (36 females, 24 males) with chronic mechanical low back pain (CMLBP) were included in thestudy. Leeds Assessment Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs Scale (LANSS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Visual AnalogueScale (VAS) were applied to the patients. Patient vitamin D levels were measured.Results: It was determined that the neuropathic low back pain incidence was 0.20. No statistically significant difference wasdetermined between the neuropathic pain incidence in the group with subnormal vitamin D values and the group with normal vitaminD values (p = 0.292). The incidence of neuropathic pain was higher in the group with subnormal vitamin D levels when compared tothe group with normal vitamin D values.Conclusion: It was demonstrated that neuropathic low back pain was more frequent among CMLBP patients with subnormal vitaminD values when compared to patients with normal vitamin D levels, albeit not statistically significantly. Vitamin D deficiency shouldbe reviewed in the evaluation of CMLBP, neuropathic component of which was not well defined, and its treatment and managementrequires a multidisciplinary approach, and vitamin D treatment should be considered when necessary
