Irq al-Nasā (sciatic nerve) is the largest, strongest and thickest nerve in the body that comes out of the spine and passes through the hips to the toes. The word sciatica has been used since Greek times, for ischias or pain arising from or around the hip and thigh. Iranian traditional medicine (ITM) books refer to Irq al-Nasā (sciatica) as "Ergho Nasaa" that means the pain in "Nasaa" (Noosa, according to Galen) vein route in the lower limb. "Nasaa" refers to a vein, so "Ergho Nasaa" points to the disorder in the route of this vein, but nowadays "sciatic" is the name of a specific nerve, not a vein and sciatica refers to pain that occurs sciatic nerve problems.

Irq al-Nasā, sciatica, sacral plexus, raigan bao, nervine pain.
