Background: Cervical spondylosis is a one of the degenerative disorder of cervical spine leading to chronic neck pain, stiffness, and functional limitation. Long-term conventional management is often associated with adverse effects, leading patients to seek complementary systems such as homoeopathy. Evidence supporting homoeopathic management of cervical spondylosis from institutional settings in India remains limited. Objective: To evaluate change in pain severity following individualized homoeopathic treatment in reducing pain severity among patients with cervical spondylosis using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Materials and Methods: A retrospective observational pilot study was conducted at the Medicine Unit (III-B) Outpatient Department of Sarada Krishna Homoeopathic Medical College. Case records from January 2025 to November 2025 were reviewed. Out of 84 registered cases, 69 patients were included after accounting for dropouts. Pain severity was assessed using VAS before treatment and after a 3-month follow-up. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and paired t-test. Results: The mean pre-treatment VAS score was 6.72 ± 0.73, which reduced to 3.97 ± 1.46 post-treatment. The mean reduction of 2.75 points was statistically significant (t = 14.10; p < 0.001). Clinically, 75.3% of patients showed moderate to marked improvement. Conclusion: Individualized homoeopathic treatment was associated with statistically significant pain reduction in cervical spondylosis. The findings suggest potential benefit warranting further controlled studies. Interpretation is limited by retrospective design and lack of a control group.
