Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Repository
- Conditions
- Cervical Myelopathy
- Interventions
- Other: Standard clinical care procedures and outcome measurements.
- Registration Number
- NCT05446259
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Kentucky
- Brief Summary
To create a research repository of patients with known degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) and a control cohort of subjects who have non-myelopathic spinal disease. This repository will be used to assess functional and/or biological measures that may allow for improved prediction of symptomatic progression and response to treatment in patients with DCM. In addition, this repository will be used to develop a risk assessment scale to accurately predict functional outcomes following operative management of DCM.
