Evaluation of pain as a preference-based health status measure in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy undergoing central corpectomy

摘要

Background Assessment of pain in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) before and after decompressive surgery has not been adequately addressed in the literature. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the intensity of various pain scores in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) before and after surgery, and to assess their correlation with other outcome measures.
