Abnormal intrinsic brain functional network dynamics in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy

Intrinsic Functional Plasticity of the Sensory-Motor Network in Patients with Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy

Several neuroimaging studies have suggested brain reorganisation in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM); however, the changes in spontaneous neuronal activity that are associated with connectedness remain largely unknown. In this study, functional connectivity strength (FCS), a data-driven degree centrality method based on a theoretical approach, was applied for the first time t...

Spondylotic myelopathy in patients with cervical dystonia.

The treatment and outcome of cervical dystonia (CD) with myelopathy (CDM) varies among studies. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical features, neuroimages, methods of treatment, and modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of patients with CDM in our hospital. There were seven male and three female patients, with a mean age of 53 years. The mean age at onset of CD was 24.9 years, with a mean inter...

Alteration of Brain Neural Network in Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy Using Resting-state Functional Connectivity Mri

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy.

Cervical spondylosis is a condition in which there is progressive degeneration of the intervertebral joints of the cervical spine. It is widespread throughout the adult population such that is has been estimated that on the basis of plain X-rays 50% over the age of 50 years and 75 % over the age of 65 suffer from the condition. It is indeed fortunate that only a small proportion suffer from the...
