Cervicobrachial syndrome, also known as cervical radiculopathy, is a relatively common neurological disorder that most often results from degenerative changes in the cervical spine. These changes include cervical spondylosis and intervertebral disc protrusion. The cause of cervical radiculopathy can also be acute herniation of the intervertebral disc caused by trauma. The mechanism of cervicobrachial syndrome is compression and/or irritation of the cervical nerve root. The most common symptom of radiculopathy is arm pain. It is usually accompanied by sensory disturbances in the dermatome area of the affected nerve root, while motor disturbances are also associated somewhat less frequently. A history and a clinical picture are usually sufficient for diagnosis. Image diagnostics is significant only when it correlates with the clinical picture. Patients with progressive neurological deficit, signs of myelopathy, fracture or ligament injury require urgent surgery. In the absence of the symptoms listed above, non-operative treatment modalities should be attempted, which include immobilization and avoidance of activities that aggravate the condition, physical therapy, traction, manipulation and pharmacotherapy. Most patients with cervical radiculopathy will experience improvement regardless of treatment method.
