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. While the pathogenesis of radiculopathy and myelopathy in cervical spondylosis is better understood, the source of neck pain still remains controversial.

We invite authors to submit original research and review articles that will stimulate the continuing efforts to understand the natural history, pathogenesis, and current management strategies for degenerative cervical spondylosis. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• The natural history and clinical syndromes of degenerative cervical spondylosis
• The pathophysiology of axial and radicular neck pain and cervical myelopathy
• Imaging modalities for cervical spondylotic stenosis and myelopathy
• Nonoperative modalities to treat symptomatic cervical spondylosis
• Operative techniques for cervical radiculopathy and myelopathy
• Cervical disc arthroplasty for treatment of the painful motion segment
• Cervical laminoplasty for multilevel cervical myelopathy
• Operative outcomes for cervical radiculopathy and myelopathy

Articles published in this special issue will not be subject to the journal's Article Processing Charges.
