Abstract
The low nerve prevalence in elderly cervical spine meniscoids, with nerves only found in two adipose type meniscoids, suggests these structures may play a minimal role in cervical nociception generation in this demographic. The joint capsules, which were more frequently innervated, appear to be more likely generators of nociception in the elderly. Joint capsule nerves were mostly NF-H positive, indicating potential Aδ-fiber presence.
