Abstract
Cervical Spondylosis is a very common degenerative disorder causing neck pain in the middle aged group individuals.The symptoms can vary from mild neck pain to neck stiffness, radiating pain along the upperlimbs. The main objective is to relieve pain ,numbness and weakness of hands caused due to encroachment of nerve roots by spondylosis. It is postulated that the initial pain eliciting event resulting from Cervical Spondylosis, causes muscle spasm of neck muscles, producing accumulation of inflammatory mediators ,which exacerbate spasm resulting in exaggeration of pain. Our study of combination of Thiocolchicoside( a muscle relaxant, which has no side effects on psychomotor performance and has no sedative effect), Aceclofenac( a non steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic ), Paracetomol (a safe analgesic),which aims to break this pain-spasm cycle is now available for effective management of Cervical Spondylosis.
