Abstract
There was no gold standard diagnostic criteria for LSS. Clinicians cannot rely solely upon diagnostic imaging tests to make the diagnosis of LSS. Therefore, we developed diagnostic support tools for LSS with high sensitivity and specificity. We have the diagnostic support tool for doctors and the simple questionnaire for patients. It is possible to diagnose patients with LSS using these tools; and we expect that its use for patients to diagnose themselves will contribute to making a better diagnosis for patients undergoing primary care treatment.
