Radicular Pain

Main article: Cervical Radicular Pain

Based off data from Rainville et al. ^[1] 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.

Some texts (Cervical radicular patterns) will state that there is a pain pattern difference between C6, C7, and C8 levels but this is not the case.

Interspinous Ligaments

Referred pain patterns from noxious stimulation of the cervical interspinous ligaments. Kellgren 1939.
