Degenerative cervical spondylosis is a common, mostly asymptomatic condition, occurring as a result of age-related degenerative changes in the cervical spine. Symptoms caused by cervical spondylosis can be categorized broadly into three clinical syndromes: axial neck pain, cervical radiculopathy, and cervical myelopathy; with patients commonly having a combination of these syndromes. This special issue contains eleven papers summarizing our present knowledge and understanding of the natural history, pathogenesis, and current management strategies for degenerative cervical spondylosis.
