“…These authors (30,31) therefore discounted discography in general; as one later concluded, induced pain, even if similar to the presenting symptoms, was of no diagnostic value. Although Holt's study (29) discouraged widespread acceptance of cervical discography, many authors since have reported favorable experience with discography in evaluating patients with chronic cervical syndromes (32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44). Several studies clearly define a viable role for diagnostic disc injections in selecting symptomatic/deranged levels for a proposed anterior cervical fusion.…”

DOplication. The value of discography lies in its ability to produce pain and thereby identify a "pain generator." This allows treatment to be based on the specific cause of pain. The three primary components of diagnostic disc injection are: provocation/analgesia, discometry, and nucleography.Despite the recent exponential growth of noninvasive spinal technology, diagnostic disc injection remains the sole direct method for definitively determining whether a disc is a physiological pain generator. It is clear that discography is a safe and powerful complement to the overall clinical context.

To correlate the accuracy of electromyography in diagnosing the correct root involved in cervical radiculopathy, 20 patients with cervical radiculopathy, diagnosed by electromyography using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, were studied. Metrizamide myelography/computerized tomography were evaluated in all 20 patients independently, and the involved root was defined. The root involved, using the EMG examination and the myotome chart of the Medical Research Council, was C5 in 3 patients, C6 in 6, C7 in 9 patients, and C8 in 2 patients. The overall correlation with myelography/CT was 65% (33.3, 66.6, 77.7, and 50% for C5, C6, C7, and C8, respectively). EMG done properly has a good correlation of myelography/CT. This correlation is higher (73.3%) for the commonly occurring cervical radiculopathies (C6 and C7).
