Chronic non-specific neck pain (CNSNP) is a common condition and its relationship to the pain catastrophizing construct in terms of sensorimotor functions and dual task performance is not fully understood. We aimed to investigate the differences in sensorimotor integration, cervical sensorimotor control, and cognitive-motor dual tasking abilities between CNSNP patients (> 3 months) with high versus low catastrophizing tendencies and healthy controls. Ninety participants were recruited, 30 asymptomatic controls, and 60 patients with CNSNP; 30 scoring high (> 75 percentile) and 30 scoring low (< 25th percentile) on the pain catastrophizing scale (PCS).

Background: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a debilitating condition that affects the cervical spine, leading to neurological impairments. While the neural mechanisms underlying CSM remain poorly understood, changes in brain network connectivity, particularly within the context of static and dynamic functional network connectivity (sFNC and dFNC), may provide valuable insights into disease pathophysiology. This study investigates brain-wide connectivity alterations in CSM patients using both sFNC and dFNC, combined with machine learning approaches, to explore their potential as biomarkers for disease classification and progression.

Anomalous brachiocephalic vein (ABCV) is a rare entity of head and neck venous channel variations and malformations. Amongst the five subtypes of ABVC, double left brachiocephalic vein (DLBCV) is the rarest. We present the case of a 1-year-11-month-old syndromic child, who had global developmental delay (GDD) with Sprengel deformity and failure to thrive (suspected Klippel Feil phenotype), who presented to us for the cardiac evaluation.
