New scan could reveal who recovers from spinal surgery
NCT ID NCT03296592
Summary
This study tested whether a special type of MRI scan could help predict how well patients recover after surgery for a compressed spinal cord in the neck. Researchers scanned 71 patients before and two years after their surgery, comparing them to healthy volunteers. The goal was to find measurable signs on the scan that could forecast a patient's long-term outcome, helping doctors make better treatment decisions.
