The diagnosis and treatment of degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) has been evolving over the past 5 decades as a result of collaborations between clinicians and scientists. The most recent trends in basic and clinical research include advances in imaging, clinical diagnostic tools, molecular genetics, surgical techniques, and reparative/regenerative strategies. Spine surgeons are witnessing a fast-paced evolution, which is reshaping the management strategies available for an aging population that suffers increasingly from this degenerative condition.
在过去50年里,由于临床医生和科学家的合作,退行性颈椎脊髓病(DCM)的诊断和治疗一直在不断发展。基础研究和临床研究的最新趋势包括影像学、临床诊断工具、分子遗传学、手术技术以及修复/再生策略等方面的进展。脊柱外科医生正在见证一场快节奏的变革,这场变革正在重塑针对日益受这种退行性疾病困扰的老年人群体的治疗策略。
