Abstract： Cervical spondylosis(CS)is a series of clinical syndromes caused by changes in the structure and function of the tissues around the cervical spine on the basis of neck degeneration,and the physical and mental health and quality of life of patients are often seriously affected.The popularization of functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI)provides visual evidence for CS central lesions and clinical efficacy.By reviewing the literature on CS central function changes at home and abroad in recent years,and reviewing them,we finds that the research mainly focuses on chronic spinal cord compression in cervical spondylosis,chronic neck pain and cervical vertigo,and patients mostly show abnormal neuronal activity,functional connection changes and brain network changes in brain regions,and put forward the current research shortcomings and development directions,in order to provide more neuroimaging references for the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of CS in the future.
