Surgical treatment is implemented when the conservative treatment failed. All the patients had the SAS(Self-rating anxiety scale) test before the surgery. The JOA(Japanese Orthopedic Association, 17 points) and SF-36(The MOS item short from health survey) score were recorded and evaluated, the 20 points of sympathetic system and patient’s satisfaction were evaluated to the sympathetic symptoms.Results: All the patients were followed up for 6~41 months [average 24.05±12.01 months] and the SAS test were normal(<50 points). The average JOA, SF-36 and the 20 points of sympathetic system score were significant statistical differences between preoperative and postoperative, the satisfactory evaluation was excellent in 23 cases, good in 12 cases, fair in 4 cases, bad in 2 cases, the effective rate was 85.37%.Conclusion: Surgical treatment can remittance sympathetic symptoms of the cervical spondylosis patients.
