The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly limited patients' access to care for spine-related symptoms and disorders. However, physical distancing between clinicians patients with is not solely restrictions imposed by pandemic-related lockdowns. In most low- middle-income countries, as well many underserved marginalized communities in high-income there little no trained evidence-based people experiencing spinal pain.
Background Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a progressive chronic spinal cord injury estimated to affect 1 in 50 adults. Without standardised guidance, clinical research studies have selected outcomes at their discretion, often underrepresenting the disease and limiting comparability between studies. Utilising standard minimum data set formed via multi-stakeholder consensus can address these issues. This combines processes define core outcome (COS)—a list of key outcomes—and...
People with Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM) often experience diagnostic delay. This could lead to poorer outcomes, including disability. Does the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association scale (mJOA) have clinical utility as an early detection tool for possible DCM? is a prospective study of consecutive adult patients, referred National Neurosurgical Centre neck problem. Assessing clinicians undertook standard examination and calculated mJOA score. A consultant radiologist...
Cross-sectional survey.Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a common syndrome of acquired spinal cord impairment caused by canal stenosis secondary to arthritic changes the spine. International guidelines consider physiotherapy an option for mild, stable DCM; however, few studies have been conducted on nonoperative management. The objective was determine current usage and perceptions DCM.Persons with DCM were recruited web-based survey. Participants complete responses that had not...
A research gap exists for optimal management of cervical radiculopathy in the first 12 weeks and short term natural history condition is somewhat unclear, although thought to be favourable. The primary aim this assessor blinded, superiority, 2 parallel group randomised controlled trial investigate effects a 4 week physiotherapy programme (6–8 sessions) manual therapy, exercise upper limb neural unloading tape, compared control weekly phone advice; on disability, pain selected biopsychosocial...
Health care decisions are a critical determinant in the evolution of chronic illness. In shared decision-making (SDM), patients and clinicians work collaboratively to reach evidence-based health that align with individual circumstances, values, preferences. This personalized approach clinical likely has substantial benefits oversight degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM), type nontraumatic spinal cord injury. Its chronicity, heterogeneous presentation, complex management, variable disease...
