Severe radicular pain

Nerve root cervical spondylosis refers to the degenerative changes of the cervical intervertebral disc and the secondary pathological changes caused by compression of the nerve root, causing pain in the corresponding nerve distribution area. In its etiology, degenerative changes of the cervical intervertebral disc are the most important reasons in the pathological process of cervical spondylosis. Based on this, it causes a series of secondary pathological changes, such as disc herniation, posterior and lateral edges of adjacent vertebrae. The formation of bone spurs, hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the facet and hook joints, thickening of the ligamentum flavum, and the formation of folds into the spinal canal. These pathological factors are interdependent and interdependent with the intervertebral discs, and can all cause compression on the cervical nerve root, which in turn produces Clinical symptoms. In the past, the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy was relatively single. Conservative treatment only included physical therapy, drugs and traction. Patients who were ineffective or had poor curative effects could only face surgery. The emergence of laser and ozone filled the gap between conservative and surgery, but because of its narrow indications, many patients still cannot get rid of pain. Our hospital treats more than 200 cases of nerve root cervical spondylosis every year. The effect of radiofrequency treatment is remarkable, and the cure rate is more than 96%.
