Study These Flashcards
A

pain caused by a lesion of the somatosensory nervous system

20
Q

What is radicular pain?

Study These Flashcards
A

Pain caused by inflammation or compression of a nerve root

21
Q

22
Q

What are the nerves of the cervical plexus?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Accesory
  2. HYpoglosal
  3. lesser occipital
  4. Greater Ausricular
  5. Transverse cervical
  6. Ansa cervicalis
  7. Phrenic Nerve
  8. Nerve roots C1-C5
23
Q

Define cervical radiculopathy

Study These Flashcards
A

•Cervical radiculopathy refers to any process that causes irritation, compression, or dysfunction of one or more of the cervical nerve roots.

S&S

  • numbness & tingling
  • weakness
24
Q

What are the 2 main causes of cervical radiculopathy?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Disc compression to the root
  2. Stenosis due to osteoporosis
  3. Spondylosis degeneration
25
What aspect of the disc is innervated by nociceptors
Outer 3th of annulus fibrosis
26
What is discogenic pain?
Pain caused by damage to the intervertebral disc. can be caused by damage to the annulus fibrosis or herniation of the nucleus pulposos.
27
What are the two types of herniations on the disc?
1. Protrusion the base of the material is greater than apex 2. Extrusion base is thinner than apex.
28
What is disc sequestration?
When the nucleus pulposo herniates and detaches completely from the disc
29
What are the signs and symptoms of radiculopathy?
* Nerve root inflammation * Sensory deficit * motor deficit * numbness tingling. * Dermatomal distribution of sensory loss helps to determine segment of root compression * Radicular pain is felt over multiple dermatomes
30
Where does radicular pain come from?
•pain evoked by ectopic discharges emanating from a dorsal root or its ganglion
31
How do you test for radiculopathy?
Upper limb neuro
32
Define cervical myelopathy
Cervical cord compression
33
What are the causes of cervical myelopathy?
* Osteocytes build up in the canal * Disc calcification resulting in loss of disc height * ligamentous ossification PLL * ligamentous buckling LF
34
What are the clinical S&S of cervical myelopathy?
1. Gradual onset (insidious) 2. Hypersensitivity and clumsiness in hands 3. Tightness on legs (spasticity) 4. Hyperreflexia, clonus, Babinski (reflex) 5. Weakness ataxia 6. May be combined with LBP and Leg pain
35
What is whiplash?
•An acceleration-deceleration mechanism of energy transfer to the neck.
36
What are other S&S related to whiplash besides de task force grading?
* Tinnitus, deafness * Visual problems, dizziness * TMJ pain, Dysphagia * Depression, anxiety, sleep disturbance, memory loss
37
What is thoracic outlet syndrome?
Nerve entrapment of the nerves as they pass the thoracic outlet in the axilla.
38
What are the most common sites of compression in TOS?
Interscalene triangle Costo clavicular space (clavicle and 1st rib) Under pec minor
39
What are the clinical S&S for TOS?
* Neurogenic * Pain upper and/or lower limb * Paresthesia * Fatigue * Discordination * weakness * cramping * mm. atrophy * Arterial * Ischaemic pain * exertional fatigue * paresthesia * coldness * Pallor & skin change * Atrhrophy, weakness cramping mm. * Venous * Pain * heaviness * fatigue * Upper limb oedema * Cyanosis * Ecchymosis (skin decolouration) * Engorgement of superficial veins
40
What tests are used for TOS?
Adsons test - brachial artery impingement (decrease pulse) East test - TOS nerve impingement (elevated arm stress test)
41
What are the general treatments for neck pain?
1. Patient education - reassure + return to activities 2. exercise prescription - low load postural endurance - strengthening 3. Pain medication - NSAID, analgesic, opioid 4. Incorporate aspects of motor re-learning, resistance, proprioception.
42
WHat are the 3 X-ray view available for the neck?
AP - normal AP open mouth (exclude fracture, tumour, arthridesm, congenital) Lateral
43
What is the nerve supply to the cervical facet joints ?
medial branch nerves
44
What is a facet joint nerve block?
Injecting an anesthetic to the medial branch nerve to stop pain reproduction with the aid of imaging. (X-ray or Ultrasound).
