Decompression for cervical myelopathy
چکیده انگلیسی

Background contextCervical spondylotic myelopathy is a degenerative condition of the cervical spine. Surgical decompression is considered the gold standard of treatment, yet multiple published studies failed to yield consistent clinical results. Properly designed clinical outcomes studies using physiological, functional, and self-reported measures have the ability to define the best intervention for this disease entity. Many validated outcomes measures for cervical spondylotic myelopathy already exist, ranging from the disease-specific Nurick grading scale to the generalized Short Form 36-item (SF-36) questionnaire.PurposeTo review the literature concerning outcome measurements for cervical spondylotic myelopathy.ConclusionFuture research must consistently use a broad array of outcome assessments to elucidate the correct utilization of surgical decompression for this disease entity.
