A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Toronto has found an association between gut dysbiosis and neuromotor decline following surgical decompression for Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM). DCM is a condition characterized by progressive cervical spinal cord compression, which can lead to various symptoms including locomotor impairment, upper extremity dysfunction, pain, and gastrointestinal dysfunction. The study used mice models to induce DCM and assessed the extent of gut dysbiosis before and after surgical decompression. The results showed significant changes in gut microbiota composition, which correlated with locomotor features. This research provides valuable insights into the relationship between gut dysbiosis and neurological recovery after surgical decompression for DCM. [Extracted from the article] |
