Tackling Research Inefficiency in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Illustrative Review

Tackling Research Inefficiency in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Illustrative Review

These degenerative changes include spondylosis, disc prolapse, hypertrophy, calcification, and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament and ligamentum flavum [1]. Ultimately, this results in stenosis of the spinal canal leading to cord compression, mechanical stretch, repetitive microtrauma, and chronic reduction in cord blood flow [1,2].

A Novel Insight Into the Challenges of Diagnosing Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Using Web-Based Symptom Checkers

A Novel Insight Into the Challenges of Diagnosing Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Using Web-Based Symptom Checkers

These degenerative changes, previously referred to as cervical spondylosis, include degeneration of intervertebral discs, osteophyte formation, ligamentous hypertrophy, spinal subluxation, and uncovertebral and facet joint hypertrophy [1,2]. The epidemiology of DCM is poorly characterized and has been reliant on “operative incidence” alone. This has contributed to misconceptions that it is a “rare” condition [3], whereas in fact it is estimated to be the most common spinal cord disorder [4].
