In general, cervical compression of the sympathetic nerve does not affect the life expectancy of patients, and patients can survive for a long time after active treatment. Cervical compression of the sympathetic nerve is clinically known as sympathetic cervical spondylosis, which manifests as symptoms of sympathetic nerve stimulation or inhibition. The main symptoms include neck and shoulder pain and headache, dizziness, which may be accompanied by blurred vision, periorbital pain, nausea, vomiting, eyelid weakness, dilated or narrow pupils, tinnitus, hearing loss, precordial discomfort, panic, menstrual irregularities, diarrhea, etc. The disease is usually chronic and the first choice is conservative treatment. Patients can brake the cervical spine, wear a neck brace, and take nerve-nourishing, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and muscle relaxing drugs for treatment, and the symptoms usually disappear after treatment. If the patient is not relieved by standard conservative treatment, surgery can be performed, which can generally achieve clinical cure and does not affect the patient’s life expectancy. In addition, it is recommended that patients correct poor posture, do not lower their heads for too long, do not play with cell phones and computers for a long time, and pay attention to warmth and rest.
