The role of paraspinal muscle degeneration in cervical spondylosis. To explore the relationship between paraspinal muscle degeneration and cervical spondylosis through cervical spine MRI and lateral X-ray. A retrospective study included 83 cervical spondylosis patients as the experimental group, consisting of 28 axial joint pain (Group A), 29 cervical radiculopathy (Group B), and 26 myelopathy = 0.741, P < 0.001) and Pfirrmann grading (r = 0.778, P < 0.001; r = 0.812, P < 0.001), and negatively correlated with Cobb angle (r=-0.507, P < 0.001; r=-0.539, P < 0.001). There were no correlations between the other parameters. In cervical spondylosis patients, the FI ratio of the deep cervical muscle is linked to both worsening disc degeneration and changes in cervical spine alignment. Among
Effects of kinesiotaping on proprioception, pain, disability, and quality of life in patients with cervical spondylosis: a randomized controlled trial. This study aimed to assess the effects of kinesiotaping (KT) adjunct to physical therapy (PT) on proprioception, cervical range of motion (ROM), pain, disability, anxiety, depression, and quality of life (QoL) in cervical spondylosis. Sixty-nine increased in PT ( = .043) and PT+ST ( = .005). KT adjunct to PT shows potential in improving proprioception, pain, and disability in cervical spondylosis. Further studies are needed to refine taping techniques and assess long-term effects.
Long-term Clinical outcomes and Optimal Treatment Approaches of Degenerative Cervical Spondylosis: A 12-year Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study. A retrospective cohort study. To compare long-term outcomes and complications of cervical disc replacement (CDR) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with cage-plate constructs (CPC) and stand-alone (SA) cages in treating degenerative cervical spondylosis. ACDF is commonly used for cervical radiculopathy but may increase adjacent segment degeneration (ASD). CDR has gained popularity by preserving motion and potentially reducing ASD, while SA cages offer a simpler alternative to CPC. Despite widespread adoption, further research is needed to clarify the long-term outcomes and associated complications. A retrospective analysis
Knowledge, attitude, and practice toward cervical spondylosis among the healthy general population. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of the healthy general population toward cervical spondylosis. A cross-sectional study was conducted among healthy individuals at Peking University Third Hospital between May and December 2023, utilizing a self-designed ) and practices (β = 0.353, P = 0.020). Furthermore, attitudes had a direct effect on practices (β = 0.442, P < 0.001). The healthy general population demonstrated inadequate knowledge, a positive attitude, and suboptimal practices regarding cervical spondylosis. These findings highlight the need for targeted educational interventions to improve public awareness and foster healthier practices in managing

Effect of three-volt moxibustion with helium-neon laser irradiation on quality of care in patients with lumbar radiculopathy spondylosis. Lumbar radiculopathy spondylosis is a relatively common orthopedic disease with a high incidence rate. It most commonly occurs in the lumbar 4-5 and lumbar 5-sacral 1 vertebrae, which account for approximately 95% of cases. It mostly occurs in people aged 30 -50 years old and greatly affects their quality of life. To determine the effect of triple-voltage acupuncture combined with helium-neon laser irradiation on the quality of care and improvement of symptoms in patients with lumbar radiculopathy spondylolisthesis. In this study, we selected 120 patients with lumbar radiculopathy spondylosis who were treated at our hospital between June 2019 to June

Efficacy of Daiwenjiu ointment on the treatment of cervical spondylosis with nerve root type caused by cold dampness obstruction. This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of Daiwenjiu ointment in the treatment of cervical spondylosis with cold dampness obstruction nerve root type. A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of 110 patients diagnosed with cervical spondylotic group. This difference between the groups was statistically significant ( < 0.001). Furthermore, the observation group demonstrated a significant decrease in serum levels of TNF-α and IL-1β after treatment compared to the control group ( < 0.001). Daiwenjiu ointment exhibits significant therapeutic effects in patients with cold dampness obstruction nerve root type cervical spondylosis. It effectively
An in vivo three-dimensional, kinematics study of the cervical vertebrae under physiological loads in patients with cervical spondylosis.

Radiological indicators and a novel combined predictive model for anticipating difficult laryngoscopy in cervical spondylosis patients: a prospective cohort study. Anticipating difficult laryngoscopy is crucial for preoperative assessment, especially for patients with cervical spondylosis. Radiological assessment has become essential for improving airway management safety. This research - 1.33×IIG + 0.408×ULBT + 0.201×NC - 0.042×LMAT. The AUC for this composite model was 0.776, exceeding the individual AUC of 0.677 for LMHT. LMHT and the novel combined predictive model incorporating LMAT are potentially valuable predictors for difficult laryngoscopy in patients with cervical spondylosis. The study was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200058361) on April 7

Hijāmah (Cupping Therapy) for Pain Management in Patients with Cervical Spondylosis. Cervical spondylosis is the most common cervical spine disorder which is clinically manifested by axial neck pain, stiffness, and limited movement and sometimes it is accompanied by tingling and radicular symptoms in the upper extremities. Pain is the most frequent complaint for which patients, suffering from cervical spondylosis, consult physicians. In conventional medicine, pain and other symptoms of cervical spondylosis are controlled by systemic and local use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), however long-term use of such medicines produces adverse effects like dyspepsia, gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcer and bleeding. We searched articles for neck pain, cervical spondylosis, cupping
