Clinical and neurological examination findings, including the Hoffmann sign and other findings suggestive of cervical spinal cord involvement, will be recorded together with cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings obtained as part of routine clinical care.\n\nThe primary outcome is the prevalence of cervical spinal cord signal abnormalities, including myelomalacia, on cervical MRI. Secondary outcomes include the treatment strategy selected during routine clinical care, clinical and radiological factors associated with treatment selection, the relationship between the Hoffmann sign and cervical spinal cord abnormalities, and referral for surgical evaluation.\n\nThis is an observational study. Participation in the study will not determine or alter diagnostic or treatment decisions, which will be made by the treating physician according to routine clinical practice.",[25,26],"Cervical Radiculopathy","Cervical Myelomalacia",[28,29,30,31,32],"Cervical Radicular Pain","Cervical Spinal Cord Signal Abnormality","Myelomalacia","Spinal Cord Compression","Hoffman","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-09-15",{"date":36,"type":37},"2026-09-16","ACTUAL",{"date":39,"type":20},"2026-10-01",{"date":41,"type":20},"2027-03-31",{"name":43,"class":44},"Ankara City Hospital Bilkent","OTHER"]
