Q

Cervical radiculopathy

Management

A

Conservative Treatment:
* Rest and activity modification: Avoiding activities that aggravate symptoms and allowing the affected nerve to heal.
* Physical therapy: Exercises and manual therapy techniques to improve posture, mobility, and strength.

Medications:
* Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce inflammation.
* Gabapentin or pregabalin for neuropathic pain.
* Muscle relaxants to alleviate muscle spasms.
* Cervical traction: Using a device to gently stretch the neck and relieve pressure on the nerve.

Interventional Treatments:
* Epidural steroid injections: Injections of corticosteroids into the epidural space around the affected nerve root to reduce inflammation.
* Nerve root blocks: Targeted injections of local anesthetics and/or steroids around the specific nerve root.

Surgical Treatment:
* Surgical decompression: Removing a portion of a vertebra or disc material to relieve pressure on the affected nerve root.
* Discectomy: Removal of a herniated or bulging disc that is compressing the nerve root.
* Fusion: Fusing two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine and prevent further nerve compression.

Cervical myelopathy

Management

A

Conservative Treatment:
* Activity modification: Avoiding activities that exacerbate symptoms and may further damage the spinal cord.
* Physical therapy: Exercises and manual therapy techniques to improve posture, neck mobility, and strength.
* Neck bracing: Use of a cervical collar or brace to provide support and limit neck movement.

Medications:
* Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce inflammation.
* Gabapentin or pregabalin for neuropathic pain.

Surgical Treatment:
* Decompressive surgery: Procedures to remove bone, disc, or other tissues that are compressing the spinal cord, such as:
* Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF): Removing a disc and fusing the adjacent vertebrae.
* Laminectomy: Removing the back part of the vertebra (lamina) to create more space for the spinal cord.
* Laminoplasty: Expanding the space for the spinal cord by opening up the back part of the vertebrae.
* Stabilization procedures: In cases of spinal instability, fusion surgery may be performed to stabilize the spine.

Monitoring and Follow-up:
* Neurological assessment: Regular evaluations to monitor the progression of symptoms and neurological function.
* Imaging studies: Periodic MRI or CT scans to assess the degree of spinal cord compression and any changes over time.
* Timing of intervention: The decision to proceed with surgery is based on the severity of symptoms, the degree of spinal cord compression, and the rate of progression.
