Fukui et al
61 symptomatic patients with suspected facet joint pain. Pain reproduced by injection of contrast medium into the joints or by electrical stimulation of the dorsal rami. Below shows the main pain distributions from C0-1 to C7/T1, and the dorsal rami C3 to [2]
Normal Volunteers
Dwyer et al
Pain maps with noxious stimulation of cervical facet joints in volunteers,[3] which was then validated against symptomatic patients.[4]
Radicular Pain
- Main article: Cervical Radicular Pain
Based off data from Rainville et al. The asterix indicates the only area where there is a statistical difference, with impaired in the distal radial aspect of the dorsal forearm more common in C6 than C7 radiculopathy[5]
Interspinous Ligaments
Referred pain patterns from noxious stimulation of the cervical interspinous ligaments. Kellgren 1939.
