Cervical spondylotic myelopathy treatment requires consistent outcome measurements. Future research should use diverse assessments to clarify surgical decompression effectiveness for this spinal condition.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is a degenerative cervical spine condition.
  • Surgical decompression is the standard treatment, but results vary.
  • Validated outcome measures exist, including the Nurick scale and SF-36.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on outcome measurements for cervical spondylotic myelopathy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on cervical spondylotic myelopathy outcome measures.

Main Results:

  • Numerous outcome measures are available for cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
  • Existing studies show inconsistent clinical results for surgical decompression.
