Brief Summary: Cervical spondylosis (*WajaÊ» ur Raqaba*)is a chronic degenerative process of the cervical spine characterized by painin neck, degenerative changes in intervertebral disc and osteophyte formation.Most common degenerative changes are seen in C5-C6 followed by C6-C7 and C4-C5.About two third of the population have neck pain at some time in their live andprevalence is highest in middle age**.**As neck pain affects a personâ€™s life both at home and at work, therefore,relief from pain is mandatory for social, psychological, economical and medicalreasons.

Though,the use of analgesics provides significant relief in symptoms of cervicalspondylosis for a very short time, and their prolong use may induce a number ofadverse effects. Similarly, most of the patients avoid surgeries due tocomplications associated with it. These ways of treatment definitely relievethe symptoms of cervical spondylosis but not up to the mark of satisfaction andfree from adverse effects. Hence,there is a dire need to develop a safe and effective mode of treatment for themanagement of cervical spondylosis.
