Background and Purpose Intraoperative monitoring of the motor pathways is a routine procedure for ensuring the integrity of descending motor tracts during spinal surgery. Intraoperative motor evoked potential improvement (MEPI) may be associated with a better postsurgical outcome in cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). To compare the efficacy of two cortical stimulation parameters in eliciting MEPI intraoperatively during CSM surgery. Methods We studied 69 patients who underwent decompression surgery for CSM over a 9-month period using either 5 (Group 1) or 9 (Group 2) stimuli. MEPI was defined as the increase in the amplitude of MEPs from baseline at the end of CSM surgery just prior to skin closure. Results An MEPI of 100% from baseline was observed in 10 patients (53%) in Group 1 and 36 patients (72%) in Group 2. Comparisons of the baseline mean MEP amplitudes of muscles bilaterally between Groups 1 and 2 did not reveal any significant differences. Supramaximal stimulation showed that a significantly higher mean intensity was required for Group 1 than for Group 2. Conclusions MEPI is observed in a much larger proportion of cervical decompression surgery cases than previously thought. Intraoperative MEPI with longer-train cortical stimulation may reflect adequacy of decompression and provide additional guidance for the surgical procedure.
