Scientists map the spinal cord to unlock secrets of neck pain

NCT ID NCT01243684

Summary

This study aimed to understand how cervical spondylosis (neck arthritis) affects the structure of the spinal cord. Researchers used a special type of MRI scan on 40 patients with varying symptoms and healthy volunteers to measure damage. They then compared these detailed images to the patients' physical abilities, like strength and sensation, to see how changes in the cord relate to their symptoms.
