![]() Electrophysiological studies including electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction study (NCS), motor evoked potentials (MEPs) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) are useful in detecting the presymptomatic pathological changes of the spinal cord, and thus supplementing the early clinical and radiographic examinations in the management of DCM. The pathophysiology of DCM includes chronic ischemia, destruction of the blood–spinal cord barrier, demyelination, and neuronal apoptosis. Early diagnosis and treatment of DCM are essential to avoid permanent disability.
