The causes of tinnitus, vertigo, and hearing disturbances may be pathological processes in the cervical spine and temporomaxillary joint. In these cases, tinnitus is called somatosensory tinnitus (SST). For afferences of the cervical spine, projections of neuronal connections in the cochlear nucleus were found. A reflex-like impact of the cervical spine on the cochlear nucleus can be assumed. The tinnitus treatment concept of the Charité University Hospital in Berlin involves the cooperation of ENT specialists with many other disciplines in an outpatient clinic. A standardized examination protocol has been established, and physical therapy has been integrated into the interdisciplinary tinnitus treatment. For tinnitus-modulating therapy of muscular trigger points, local anesthetics as well as self-massage or treatment by a physiotherapist or osteopath are useful.

An 88-year-old male with a history of cervical spondylosis (status post laminectomy of C2-C3 and laminoplasty of C4-C5), chronic congestive heart failure (CHF), pulmonary embolism, and lumbar spinal stenosis presented to an outpatient sports medicine clinic with neck pain following a fall five days prior due to loss of balance. He reported pain on the left side worsened by movement and accompanied by neck "clicking." A physical exam showed severe limitation in cervical spine extension limited by pain and loss of lordotic curve and a neurologic exam demonstrated weakness in the left leg secondary to a previous back surgery.

Study Design: This study employed a patient-specific finite element model.
Purpose: To quantify the effect of anterior and posterior surgical approaches on adjacent segment biomechanics of the patient-specific spine and spinal cord.
Overview Of Literature: Adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) is a well-documented complication following cervical fusion, typically resulting from accelerated osteoligamentous deterioration and subsequent symptomatic neural compression.

Background: Prone positioning during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can lead to post-procedure neck pain due to increased cervical spine stress and prolonged muscle stretching. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and satisfaction of an ergonomic wedge pillow for patients undergoing prone ERCP.
Methods: Patients indicated for ERCP were randomized 1:1 to a study group (with the pillow) or a control group.
