What is the relationship between radiographic findings and neck pain and disability? This study took the cervical radiographic findings from 675 patients, and compared this information to self-reported pain and disability ratings to try to find an answer to this question.
The researchers examined the cervical spine radiographs, and recorded all evidence of degenerative findings; the study reported that most degeneration was found at C5, C6, and C4—in order of decreasing frequency. Interestingly, the authors found that spinal degeneration was not related to a history of neck trauma—although patients with a history of trauma reported more pain and disability than non-trauma patients.
The study also reported that those patients with spinal degeneration were more likely to experience chronic neck pain.
