Dr. Darshan Desai*

ABSTRACT

Cervical spondylosis (CS) is a prevalent degenerative condition of the cervical spine, affecting a significant portion of the global population. This case study presents the successful management of CS using a novel Ayurvedic treatment protocol -'CVRT' (Cell Vitality Restoration Treatment). A 66-year-old female patient with a three-year history of progressive neck pain and stiffness, along with multiple comorbidities, was treated using the CVRT protocol. The customized treatment plan included Shodhana Chikitsa (purification therapy) with Swedana (sudation) using Tenroot mix Patra Pottali and Dhara Sweda with Premena Oil, followed by Shamana Chikitsa (pacification therapy) with proprietary Ayurvedic formulations, including Tab. Tenroot, Tab. Trichosanthus, and Tab. Tinospora. The patient's pain score, assessed using a 0-4 scale, reduced from 20 at the initial visit to 2 at the end of the one-month treatment period. Significant improvements were observed in pain, stiffness, and physical function, with no adverse events reported. The CVRT protocol's success in this case highlights the potential of Ayurvedic interventions in managing CS, focusing on symptomatic relief, joint mobility, and overall musculoskeletal health.
