The effect of surgical treatment for cervical spondylosis or cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is usually evaluated by the Neurosurgical Cervical Spine Scale (NCSS) or the Japan Orthopaedics Association (JOA) score. These scales emphasize changes in motor function. The patient's satisfaction with the operation is, on the other hand, determined by the changes in subjective symptoms, and it is often difficult to evaluate such subjectively-assessed changes objectively. The authors have therefore designed a new scale, which we have called the Self-report Priority-adjusted Functional Scale (SPFS), to evaluate subjectively-assessed changes in symptoms by scoring individual complaints, and we have used this scale in 31 cases with cervical spondylosis or OPLL before and after cervical laminoplasty. We suggest that this new scale can objectively represent a patient's satisfaction, which cannot be expressed by the conventional NCSS or JOA score.
