مستخلص: Electrodiagnosis for cervical radiculopathy often involves exploration of the cervical paraspinal muscles. Accurate and reproducible results require a technique with specific anatomic localization, direction of insertion, extent of insertion, scoring system for insertion, and criteria for determining abnormality. We sought to understand if a published technique met these criteria. A Medline search found 39 articles with original research and 10 review articles involving the cervical paraspinals. A library search found 19 textbooks since 2000, but 9 were not available. Only two studies were specific to the question. Neither had reproducible techniques and they contradicted each other. Studies in which the paraspinals were used for comparison or inclusion did not provide any specific technique. The review articles and textbooks typically met none of our criteria and the few that discussed technique at all provided no reproducible methods. Despite 80 years of electrodiagnostic testing, there is no useful, reproducible technique for exploring the cervical paraspinal muscles. Yet such a paraspinal mapping technique has proven invaluable in the lumbar region. For cervical electromyography to be of value, the next step is to understand the anatomy and propose a reproducible technique. Subsequent research will determine whether the neck muscles are helpful in the diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy. The absence of a valid reproducible cervical paraspinal technique impedes clinical and scientific understanding of cervical radiculopathy.
