What this trial studies

This study evaluates the relationship between various evaluation parameters and the prognosis of patients undergoing cervical single open-door surgery for cervical spinal stenosis. It is a multi-center retrospective clinical study that aims to analyze complication rates and provide a theoretical basis for personalized surgical approaches. The study includes patients who have not responded to conservative treatment for at least three months and have specific MRI findings. The goal is to improve surgical outcomes through better understanding of the factors influencing prognosis.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical outcomes and personalized treatment plans for patients with cervical spinal stenosis.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success with similar surgical approaches, indicating potential for meaningful advancements in treatment.
