Francis Farhadi
To create a research repository of patients with known degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) and a control cohort of subjects who have non-myelopathic spinal disease. This repository will be used to assess functional and/or biological measures that may allow for improved prediction of symptomatic progression and response to treatment in patients with DCM. In addition, this repository will be used to develop a risk assessment scale to accurately predict functional outcomes following operative management of DCM.
Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of degenerative cervical myelopathy * Diagnosis of cervical degenerative disease without myelopathy Exclusion Criteria: * None outside or diagnostic requirements and age limits.
Standard of care surgical interventions, imaging impressions, laboratory results, and outcome measurements will be collected and analyzed.
