Evaluation of Financial Support Workshops for Patients Under State Pension Age With Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Survey Study

Evaluation of Financial Support Workshops for Patients Under State Pension Age With Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Survey Study

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a form of slow-motion and progressive spinal cord injury caused by spinal cord compression secondary to degenerative pathology. This includes disease processes such as cervical spondylosis, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, ossification of the ligamentum flavum, and degenerative disc disease [1,2]. Globally, it is estimated to affect 2% of adults, although less than 10% are formally diagnosed at this time [3,4].

Validity of a Smartphone App to Objectively Monitor Performance Outcomes in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Preliminary Findings From a Longitudinal Observational Study

Validity of a Smartphone App to Objectively Monitor Performance Outcomes in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Preliminary Findings From a Longitudinal Observational Study

Loss of dexterity, for example, is a notable manifestation of conditions such as Parkinson disease, degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM), peripheral neuropathy, and osteoarthritis [1,2]. The significance of this phenotype can be seen in the physician’s approach to examining the neuromuscular systems, the features used to distinguish or measure its disease, or the information sought to define its care and research.

Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Awareness in Primary Care: UK National Cross-Sectional Survey of General Practitioners

Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Awareness in Primary Care: UK National Cross-Sectional Survey of General Practitioners

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a common progressive neurological condition, characterized by compression of the cervical spinal cord secondary to degenerative changes in the spine [1-4]. Prevalence in those over the age of 40 years is estimated to be 5%, making it the most common cause of spinal cord pathology worldwide [1,2,5,6]. Disease progression has profound impacts upon the patients’ quality of life [7-10], resulting in pain, functional neurological decline, and disability.

Machine Learning and Symptom Patterns in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Web-Based Survey Study

Machine Learning and Symptom Patterns in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Web-Based Survey Study

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a progressive spinal cord injury caused by spinal cord compression from degenerative pathology and consists of various subcategories of pathology, including cervical spondylotic myelopathy, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, ossification of the ligamentum flavum, and degenerative disc disease [1-4]. It is estimated to affect 2% of adults, although fewer than 10% are currently diagnosed [5,6].

Factors Influencing Surgical Decision-Making in the Posterior Laminectomy With Fixation for Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (POLYFIX-DCM) Trial: Survey Study

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the most common cause of adult spinal cord dysfunction worldwide, estimated to affect 2% of the adult population [1-5]. DCM occurs when degenerative processes cause compression and injure the spinal cord [6-8]. This can lead to a range of disabilities, including imbalance and difficulty walking, loss of manual dexterity, sensory loss, bowel or bladder dysfunction, pain, and in extreme circumstances, paralysis [3,9-11].

Rapidly Deteriorating Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Following Ventricular Shunt Revision for Hydrocephalus: Case Report

Rapidly Deteriorating Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Following Ventricular Shunt Revision for Hydrocephalus: Case Report

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the umbrella term for a range of chronic spinal injuries caused by cervical stenosis due to degenerative or congenital pathology [1,2]. DCM presents with motor or sensory dysfunction in the upper or lower limbs, such as the loss of dexterity, paresthesia and imbalance, pain, and bladder and bowel dysfunction [3]. We report the case of a patient with worsening DCM following the treatment of coexisting hydrocephalus.

Cervical Myelopathy and Social Media: Mixed Methods Analysis

Cervical Myelopathy and Social Media: Mixed Methods Analysis

The following keywords were used for the search: cervical myelopathy or cervical [AND] myelopathy. The methods in this study were based on methods described in previous studies [15,19]. We analyzed tweets and accounts individually. The following types of accounts were excluded: (1) duplicate accounts, (2) accounts with less than 10 tweets, (3) bots, and (4) accounts with less than 15 followers.

Osteopathy in the Early Diagnosis and Management of Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: National Survey

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is an umbrella term for symptomatic spinal cord compression, secondary to a range of degenerative pathologies such as osteoarthritic or ligamentous changes of the cervical spine [1,2]. Symptoms are typically progressive and debilitating, typically resulting in permanent disability and poor quality of life [3,4]. DCM is the leading cause of spinal cord impairment worldwide [5].

High-Dimensional Analysis of Finger Motion and Screening of Cervical Myelopathy With a Noncontact Sensor: Diagnostic Case-Control Study

High-Dimensional Analysis of Finger Motion and Screening of Cervical Myelopathy With a Noncontact Sensor: Diagnostic Case-Control Study

Cervical myelopathy (CM) occurs in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, or cervical disk herniation [1-3]. CM causes symptoms such as clumsiness of the hands, numbness of the extremities and trunk, and gait disturbance, and often requires surgery. The longer the duration and the more severe the disease, the worse the postoperative outcome [4-6].

Existing Funding Sources in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Research: Scoping Review

Existing Funding Sources in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Research: Scoping Review

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM), often previously referred to as cervical spondylotic myelopathy, is a progressive, slow motion, spinal cord injury caused by degenerative changes that lead to narrowing of the spinal canal [1]. It is the most common nontraumatic cause of spinal cord impairment [2], with recent estimates suggesting that as many as 1 in 50 adults could be affected in their lifetime [3,4].
