Rehab in Mild Stable DCM: Feasibility RCT Comparing Structured Rehabilitation to Clinical Surveillance

Sponsor: Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland

Summary

The goal of this feasibility RCT is to establish the feasibility of undertaking a RCT investigating the effectiveness of a multi component structured rehabilitation intervention aiming at reducing physical disability in people with mild stable Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy. The main question it will answer are what is the incidence of mild stable DCM in the neurosurgical OPD clinics, what is the eligibility rate and participate rate of those eligible. It will also investigate the acceptability of the intervention to both participants and clinicians and participant retention. Researchers will compare a structured rehabilitation intervention to clinical surveillance. The structured rehabilitation intervention will include education, a physical activity behavioural change intervention, cervical range of motion exercises, neck, upper limb and scapular strengthening exercises and task specific hand function training.
