CRD SUMMARY:

This review compared the safety and effectiveness of non-operative treatment, with those of surgery, and assessed the risk of neurological deterioration for patients with cervical myelopathy or asymptomatic cord compression. There was a lack of high-quality evidence to support non-surgical treatment. There was potential for bias in the review, but the authors' conclusions seem appropriate.
