Brachial neuritis: an under-recognized cause of upper extremity paresis after cervical decompression surgery.
Case series. ⋯ Brachial neuritis appears to be an under-recognized cause of delayed-onset shoulder pain associated with upper extremity weakness that develops as a consequence of the stress of surgery rather than as a complication of surgical technique.

An in vitro biomechanical study. ⋯ Extrapolation of the present results indicated dynamic spinal cord compression of up to 88% in those with stenotic canals and 35% in those with normal canal diameters. These results are consistent with the wide range of neurologic injury severity observed clinically due to bilateral facet dislocation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Qigong and exercise therapy in patients with long-term neck pain: a prospective randomized trial.
A randomized, controlled, multicenter trial: 1-year follow-up. ⋯ These results indicate that treatments including supervised qigong or exercise therapy resulting in reduced pain and disability can be recommended for persons with long-term nonspecific neck pain.
