Nerve root of the clinical symptoms of cervical disease
Clinical cervicalspondylotic radiculopathy was particularly prevalent in middle-aged and older male patients. According to the Chinese Medicine Research Institute Orthopedic Institute statistics, 100 cases in the proportion of men and women for 1.27:1 41-70 age of the patients was 66%, more than its history of chronic disease incidence, a handful of neck trauma history. (1) neck and shoulder pain and numbness of fingers Radicular pain is the main symptom diseases. Acute phase of the head and neck patients activities can cause neck, shoulder and arm pain, or with upper extremity, accompanied finger numbness, pain at night heavy impact rest. A small number of patients in order to prevent increased symptoms touch neck, hand protection. The incidence of acute patients should pay attention to check whether the cervical disc disease. More flu patients with chronic disease or Department sore neck, upper extremity radicular pain or numbness fingertip there. Additionally, there are weakening upper limb muscle strength, muscle atrophy. Some patients can show limb swelling, was or pale skin color. Cold and fatigue for the incidence of incentives, and some patients had no incentive to gradually incidence. Brachial plexus lesion site different from the roots of the pain of different areas: cervical nerve root lesion area for the deltoid muscle pain in the area, neck 6 nerve root lesions, and to the deltoid muscle of the thumb radial forearm and radiotherapy; Carotid 7 neuropathy, upper arm and forearm along the direction of the middle finger after radiotherapy; Carotid 8 nerve radiculopathy along the medial upper arm and forearm to the ring finger, little finger radiotherapy; The vision of nerve root lesions caused medial upper arm pain. (2) muscle strength weakened The upper limb muscle strength weakened to a motor nerve damage caused symptoms of a performance for patients at harder, and some patients when holders of easy shedding. Limb by two more skeletal muscle nerve common disclaimer, a separate nerve damage showed mild strength weakened, the main nerve root involvement, there will be significant movement dysfunction. (3) neck muscle tension Patients often cervical neck of the plate symptoms. By cervical nerve root stimulation, reflex caused by the disposal of neck and shoulder muscle tension or spasm increased. In the acute phase, inspection and more patients can now side of the neck after the rejection of meat or bilateral tensions, a local tenderness.
