Bilateral cervical denervation of the C7 nerve root is a medical procedure aimed at alleviating pain or dysfunction associated with conditions affecting the cervical spine, particularly around the C7 vertebra. This technique involves selectively disrupting the nerve signals from the C7 nerve root, which can help reduce pain and improve mobility in patients with cervical radiculopathy or similar disorders. It is typically performed using minimally invasive techniques, such as radiofrequency ablation or chemical neurolysis. The goal is to provide relief while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.

Phrenic nerve What are the Symptoms of nerve root irritation c4 right?
Typically, symptoms of nerve root irritation from C4 manifest themselves as shoulder pain. C4 refers to the 4th vertebra in the cervical region, where part of the phrenic nerve originates.
Do all cervical discectomies require a fusion as well?
Cervical discectomies are done for cervical spine arthritis called as spondylosis. They are also done for compression of the spinal cord or a nerve root. If the discectomy is done from the front of the cervical spine, fusion is generally done. if the patient is young and disease is at single level, cervical disc replacement can also be done to avoid fusion and preserve motion, but studies say the outcomes are the same with both the procedures. If the nerve root compression is the only problem then the nerve root decompression can also be done by what is called as cervical formainotomy where the spine is approached from the back. If this procedure is done fusion is not necessary.
Spinal nerve C8 exit between two vertebrae C7 - C8?
Yes, the spinal nerve C8 exits between the C7 and C8 vertebrae. In the cervical region, there are eight cervical spinal nerves (C1 to C8), but only seven cervical vertebrae. Therefore, the C8 nerve root exits below the C7 vertebra and above the C8 vertebra, which is why it is uniquely positioned.
What is displacement of the bilateral L5 nerve roots in the neuroforamen and displacement of the left S1 nerve root as it exits the canal?
The nerves coming off the spinal cord at L5 and S1 are being pushed out of their normal position.
What can pain in back of neck then numbness down arms and hands mean?
cervical disc hernia. first it compressed the dura mater, than the nerve root
What does the word root cervical mean?
The word root "cervical" pertains to the neck region or to the cervix of an organ.
What are the 31 pairs of spinal nerve?
The 31 pairs of spinal nerves are: 8 cervical 12 thoracic 5 lumbar 5 sacral 1 coccygeal. They are formed by the ventral and dorsal root of the nerve that comes out of the spinal cord.
Why are there eight cervical nerve roots?
There are 8 cervical nerves because the first 7 nerves exits on the upper part of the vertebrae making up 7 nerves but then on the 7th vertebrae there's another nerve that exits below the vertebrae thus making up 8 cervical nerves from 7 cervical vertebrae.
What is mild bilateral foramina narrowing due to annular bulge with no nerve root compromise?
Mild bilateral foramina narrowing due to an annular bulge refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc protrudes slightly, causing a reduction in the space available for nerve roots in the foramina on both sides of the spine. This narrowing is described as "mild," indicating that it is not severe enough to compress the nerve roots, which means there is typically no associated pain or neurological symptoms. The absence of nerve root compromise suggests that the condition is often asymptomatic and may not require aggressive treatment. Regular monitoring and conservative management may be recommended.
What is the root word of bilateral?

What are examples of root word later?
lateral bilateral
What is cervical spondylosis?
Cervical spondylosis refers to spondylosis of the cervical vertebrae (Bones of the spine in the region of the neck). Spondylosis refers to changes occurring in the bones ultimately resulting in compression of the nerve roots passing through these regions. The result of the nerve compression is determined by the specific nerve that is compressed. Common features include sharp pain radiating down the region of the upper limb supplied by the specific nerve root affected. Cervical spondylosis is common in older population. It is often due to osteoarthritis resulting in osteophyte formation (abnormal new bone growth) and these osteophytes result in the nerve compression.
