Official Title: A Post-marketing Evaluation of a Compound Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine, Qishe Pill, on Cervical Radiculopathy

Brief Summary: Neck pain is a common symptom in most patients suffering from cervical radiculopathy. However, some conservative treatments are limited by their modest effectiveness. On the other hand, surgical intervention for cervical disc disorders is indicated when symptoms are refractory to conservative treatments and neurological symptoms are progressive. Many patients use complementary and alternative medicine, including Traditional Chinese Medicine, to address their symptoms. The purpose of the present study is to examine effectiveness and safety of Qishe Pill, a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, for neck pain in patients with cervical radiculopathy.
