Transcranial MEPs predict clinical outcome during minimally invasive dorsal decompression for cervical spondylotic myelopathy
MEP improvement during CSM surgery seems to be highly predictive of early postoperative neurological recovery and could indicate subclinically enhanced signal conduction. This highlights the potential of MEP monitoring as an intraoperative, real-time predictive tool for clinical recovery after decompression in patients with CSM.
