Evaluation of Myelopathy and Radiculopathy

The JOA (Japanese Orthopedic Association) scoring system was used to evaluate the severity of myelopathy based on the degree of dysfunction in each category. The VAS (Visual Analog Scale) score was used to evaluate upper extremity pain caused by nerve root compression. The JOA and VAS score was investigated before surgery and on the postoperative 7th day, 3th month and 1st year.
Symptoms mentioned above consist of three categories: myelopathy (extremity weakness/numbness, gait instability, and bladder dysfunction), radiculopathy (upper extremity pain), and postoperative axial pain.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
