[Abstract] Cervical spondylosis is a chronic degenerative disease, and cervical disc degeneration is one of its main manifestations. Clinical manifestation of this disease is neck, shoulder and back pain, bilateral numbness of upper limbs. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to accurately assess the signal changes of the cervical intervertebral disc, and which can reflect subtle changes in the structure and function of the brain and spinal cord caused by chronic pain. Eventually, it provides the basis for the study of neuropathological mechanism and the evaluation of clinical efficacy. This article mainly reviewed multimodal MRI imaging (conventional MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, voxel-based morphology, functional magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy) in the status and progress of cervical spondylosis.
