Objective: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to elucidate the incidence of cervical radiculopathy among patients who have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and to evaluate the outcome of carpal tunnel release (CTR) in CTS patients with clinically diagnosed cervical radiculopathy. Methods: Eighty-five patients who underwent CTR for their electrophysiologically and ultrason...

OBJECTIVE To delineate cervical radiculopathy that is found in combination with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) and to determine whether attendant cervical radiculopathy affects the prognosis and functional outcome for SCI patients. METHODS A total of 66 patients diagnosed with traumatic cervical SCI were selected for neurological assessment (using the International Standards for ...

BACKGROUND To date, optimal strategies for the management of patients with cervical radiculopathy remain elusive. Preliminary evidence suggests that a multimodal treatment program consisting of manual therapy, exercise, and cervical traction may result in positive outcomes for patients with cervical radiculopathy. However, limited evidence exists to support the use of mechanical cervical tracti...

The article discusses the clinical manifestations, pathomorphology, pathogenesis and various treatment methods of cervical radiculopathy (CR). Article points out diagnostic difficulties arising from frequent discrepancy between neuroimaging data. issues choice conservative surgical are discussed, based on analysis data recent systematic reviews. In absence focal neurological symptoms, radicular...

Background: Cervical radiculopathy is a dysfunction of nerve root of the cervical spine where C6& C7 nerve roots are the most commonly affected. It encompasses important symptoms other than pain, such as paresthesia, numbness and muscle weakness in dermatomal or myotomal distribution of an affected nerve root. A multitude of physical therapy interventions have been proposed to be effective in t...

pancoast tumor accounts for 3%-5% of all non-small cell lung carcinomas. this tumor has a distinct clinical presentation through local invasion and the resulting clinical entity called pancoast syndrome. this syndrome includes severe shoulder pain, arm pain, and horner’s syndrome andatrophy of forearm and hand muscles. the differential diagnosis of arm and shoulder pain is extensive. thoracic o...

STUDY DESIGN National population-based cohort study. OBJECTIVE To compare the reoperation rates between cervical spondylotic radiculopathy and myelopathy in a national population of patients. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA There is an inherently low incidence of reoperation after surgery for cervical degenerative disease. Therefore, it is difficult to sufficiently power studies to detect differ...

BACKGROUND Medial epicondylitis, or golfer's/pitcher's elbow, develops as a result of medial stress overload on the flexor muscles at the elbow and presents as pain at the medial epicondyle. Cervical radiculopathy has been associated with lateral epicondylitis, but few associations between the cervical spine and medial epicondylitis have been made. Researchers propose that there is an associati...
