Implication

Randomized trial evaluates pain and disability outcomes in cervical disc herniation, suggesting effective intervention.

Key Points

  • Evaluate clinical and functional outcomes after posterior endoscopic decompression for cervical disc herniation.
  • Single-center study with 145 patients undergoing posterior endoscopic decompression.
  • Preoperative and postoperative assessments included Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI).
  • Patients were followed up at 1, 6, and 12 months postoperatively.
  • Mean arm pain VAS score improved from 7.6 to 1.9 (p < 0.001).
  • Mean neck pain VAS decreased from 5.1 to 2.2 (p < 0.001).
  • Overall success rate based on Modified MacNab criteria was 82.8%.
