The spurling test is a head compression test that is positive for radiculopathy. The test is performed as follows: the patient with neck and shoulder pain sits with his head tilted back and toward the painful side. The doctor stands behind the patient and applies pressure to the top of the head with the palm of the hand. The patient may experience neck pain, and the pain may radiate to the affected limb. The presence of this indicates a positive spurling test. The presence of this condition suggests that the patient may have a neurogenic cervical spondylosis condition. As a result of the compression of the nerve roots during the head pressing process, the symptoms of neck pain and radiating pain to the limbs appear. It is recommended to consult an orthopedic surgeon, spine surgeon or pain specialist. Through the neck CT, MRI and other examination items, analyze and confirm the diagnosis of the condition. Then targeted drug treatment or surgery.
