A test for nerve root compression in which intrathecal pressure and intraspinal fluid pressure are increased by bilateral manual compression of the jugular veins. Increase or aggravation of pain or sensory disturbance over the distribution of the involved nerve root confirms the presence of an extruded intervertebral disk or other mass.  2, record 1, English, - Naffziger%26rsquo%3Bs%20test

Manœuvre utilisée pour vérifier l'existence d'une irritation radiculaire. La compression manuelle bilatérale des veines jugulaires entraîne une augmentation de la pression du liquide céphalo-rachidien qui exacerbe la douleur sur le territoire du nerf affecté en cas de problème disco-radiculaire.  2, record 1, French, - man%26oelig%3Buvre%20de%20Naffziger

A test designed to reproduce pain originating in the cervical spine. With the patient sitting, the examiner places one hand across the other on the top of the patient's head with gradually increased downward pressure. If radicular pain or paresthesias with referral to the upper limb occur with the head compression test, it strongly suggests nerve root irritation. On the other hand, if the pain remains in the neck, soft tissues or joints appear as the pain-sensitive structures involved.  2, record 2, English, - head%20compression%20test

A test which determines if there exists irritation or compression of nerve root, dural root sleeve fibrosis or adhesions, foraminal encroachment, or adjacent joint capsule thickening and adhesions. The examiner stands beside the patient who tilts the head to one side. With one of the examiner's hands on the patient's shoulder and the other hand on the patient's head, the examiner exerts downward pressure on the patient's shoulder and lateral flexion pressure on the patient's head in the opposite direction. This test places a tug on the nerve roots; with root sleeve fibrosis, foraminal osteophytes, or adhesions, radicular pain or paresthesias often result.  2, record 3, English, - shoulder%20depression%20test

Manœuvre consistant à fléchir la tête du malade de côté tout en appliquant une pression vers le bas sur l'épaule opposée. Une augmentation de la douleur indique une irritation ou une compression des racines nerveuses, un empiétement sur la lumière des trous de conjugaison par des ostéophytes ou des adhérences sur le manchon dure-mérien du nerf et de la capsule articulaire adjacente du côté étiré.  2, record 3, French, - man%26oelig%3Buvre%20d%27abaissement%20des%20%C3%A9paules

A test used in the examination of patients with cervical spine syndromes. This test should be done with the patient seated; the open palm of the examiner's hand should be placed under the patient's chin while the examiner's other hand goes under the patient's occiput; gradually the force of lifting the patient's head increases, removing the weight of the skull and distracting the foramina, discs, and joints. Nerve root compression may be relieved, with disappearance of symptoms with opening of the intervertebral foramina or extension of the disc spaces, Additionally, pressure on joint capsules of apophyseal joints diminishes with head distraction.  2, record 4, English, - head%20distraction%20test

Manual compression of the internal jugular veins with a manometer attached to the lumbar puncture needle to test for the patency of the subarachnoid space. Normally, compression causes a prompt rise in the cerebrospinal fluid pressure with rapid return to resting levels on release of compression; in partial or total subarachnoid block, this does not occur. The maneuver is contraindicated where increased intracranial pressure is present or suspected.  1, record 7, English, - Queckenstedt%20test

Épreuve destinée à étudier les modifications de pression du liquide céphalorachidien, après compression brève des veines jugulaires. Normalement, la pression monte rapidement, et redescend aussi vite après décompression des jugulaires. L'absence ou la lenteur d'élévation de la pression lors de la compression, ou la lenteur de la descente lors de la décompression, témoignent d'un obstacle situé entre le compartiment céphalique du LCR et le point de ponction. Il faut toujours s'assurer que la compression abdominale fait monter la pression du LCR pour éliminer toute erreur technique.  1, record 7, French, - %C3%A9preuve%20de%20Queckenstedt%2DStookey
