Abstract

Cervical spondylosis is also known as cervical osteoarthritis. It is a disorder characterised by alterations in the bones, discs, and joints of the neck. These changes are induced by the regular wear and tear of ageing, which leads to intervertebral disc degeneration and osteophyte production. The most common complaints are pain in the head, neck, and shoulders, as well as tenderness in these areas. There is also pain radiation and a reduction in cervical range of motion. Wajaur Raqaba (cervical spondylosis) is treated through Ilaj bit Tadbeer (Regional therapy), Ilaj bid Dawa (Pharmacotherapy), and Ilaj bil Yad (Surgery). The purpose of this case study was to assess the efficacy of Unani formulations Habbe Asgand and Habbe Gul-e-akh in the treatment of cervical spondylosis. A 24-year-old female patient with cervical spondylosis presented to the OPD of Ajmal Khan Tibbia College, Aligarh. Treatment was given to the patient for a period of one month. The Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire (NPQ) is used for the assessment of cervical pain. As assessed by NPQ, Unani formulations were proven to be safe and effective in the management of cervical spondylosis.
 Keywords Cervical spondylosis, Wajaur Raqaba, Unani formulations, Habbe suranjan and Habbe gul-e-akh.
