ABSTRACT
Context: Cervical spondylosis (CS) is a chronic degenerative condition that presents with chronic neck pain and stiffness with radiation of pain to the occiput or upper limbs and a sensation of numbness or tingling. Conservative treatment only provides short term relief. Objective: This case was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of individualised homoeopathy in the management of CS. Methods: A 39-year-old female patient was treated in the outpatient dept at Dr. D. Y. Patil homoeopathic medical college and research centre with the complaint of neck pain with stiffness. Radiological findings revealed the diagnosis of cervical spondylosis. Individualised homoeopathic medicine was selected after detailed case taking. 'Modified naranjo criteria' were used to assess the effect of homoeopathic medicine. Result: Homoeopathic medicine silicea terra was prescribed and found to be effective in this case. Conclusion: Further studies can be undertaken to assess the effectiveness of individualised homoeopathic medicine in the management of cervical spondylosis.
