摘　　要：A common pathology that causes axial and/or radicular pain is cervical degenerative spine. It has the potential to cause myelopathy. The majority of cases necessitate surgical decompression and sagittal balance correction;surgery may be performed at multiple levels of the cervical spine. Typically, during decompression, the degenerated discs are replaced and the spine is fused, and it has been recommended to restore the lordotic curve during the procedure to avoid any axial pain post-operatively. We followed our patients who had multiple level cervical spine decompression with fusion and monitored their axial pain after correction or in the absence of correction of the normal lordosis in the early post-operative period. When various levels of degenerative cervical spine are treated, it appears that axial pain does not improve in the immediate or early postoperative term.A common pathology that causes axial and/or radicular pain is cervical degenerative spine.
