An Assessment of Surgical Techniques for Treating Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Laminectomy and Laminoplasty for Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy. Completed, enrolled 321 participants across 13 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The primary purpose of this study is to compare anterior and posterior surgical approach in treatment of CSM in terms of surgical complications and neurological, functional, disease-specific and quality of life outcomes measures. Secondary aims are to quantify the amount of change pre and post-surgery concerning the same outcome measures; to determine if there are differences in outcomes between posterior surgical techniques (i.e. laminectomy with fusion or laminoplasty) and examine the relationship between baseline MRI and baseline and follow-up neurological and functional outcomes.
