Abstract:
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is the most serious subtype, which is characterized by severe clinical symptoms, a high disability rate, and poor prognosis. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of CSM at different stages. In order to further standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment of CSM and improve the clinical efficacy, based on previous experience and evidence-based medicine, after repeated discussions by the national expert group, the expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine was compiled. This consensus comprehensively introduces the definition, etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis treatment principles, integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment, postoperative rehabilitation and nursing care of cervical spondylotic myelopathy, so as to provide reference for clinicians.
