Comparison of cervical sagittal parameters among patients with neck pain and patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy and cervical spondylotic myelopathy
Purpose: Previous studies have shown that cervical sagittal alignment is strongly associated with cervical deformity, myelopathy,and cervical adjacent-segmental disease, and those cervical sagittal parameters are correlated with health-related quality of life, while less attention has been paid to cervical sagittal balance in various cervical disorders. This study aimed to compare cervical sagittal parameters between patients with nonspecific neck pain(NS-NP) and patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy(CSR) and cervical spondylotic myelopathy(CSM). Methods: We retrospectively included 236 patients divided into three groups, NS-NP, CSR, and CSM, and collected general information and cervical sagittal parameters of such kind patients. The variation of parameters between the size of these parameters and gender differences were analyzed. Pearson’s or Spearman’s correlation was applied to analyzethe association of cervical sagittal parameters of all patients between the three groups. Results: There were significant differences in age and sex among the three groups (PConclusion: This study showed that between the three groups, patients with non-specific neck pain had larger C7s, T1s, and C2-C7 Cobb angle and smaller SCA and C2-C7 SVA; and among patients with NS-NP, women had larger SCA and smaller C7s and T1s. The smaller anteroposterior (AP) diameter of the thoraxin women might be the possible explanation for this difference.
