Clinical Indicators of Surgical Outcomes in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Assessed Using the JOACMEQ
Surgical intervention for DCM generally improves neurological function and pain. However, JOACMEQ analysis reveals that factors such as disease duration, residual pain, age, and BMI significantly influence physical function and QOL. These findings highlight the importance of surgical timing and adequate informed consent to optimize outcomes in DCM patients.
