Abstract

Aims and Objective: Chondroxide gel is used topically in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, cervical spondylosis, and frozen shoulder. This small-scale clinical survey was conducted to determine the safety and efficacy of the herbal product Chondroxide gel manufactured by Herbion Pakistan (Pvt.) Ltd. at Tulsi Medical Centre, Karachi, Pakistan. Introduction: Osteoarthritis is the most common disorder with joint pain and stiffness symptoms. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder and another common reason for disability. At the same time, cervical spondylosis is a disease affecting the cervical spine, whereas a frozen shoulder often prolongs a disabling condition that can be managed by primary care. Method: This was a small-scale, open-labeled clinical survey. A total of 30 patients were enrolled in the study, out of which four patients got dropped out. 26 patients received Chondroxide gel. Statistical analysis was done by using the IBM SPSS 20. Results: Chondroxide gel was found safe and effective in treating osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, cervical spondylosis, and frozen shoulder and stated better response compared to the topical formulation available in the market. Conclusion: The results indicated improvement after applying the Chondroxide gel in patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, cervical spondylosis, and frozen shoulder complaints and relieved external pain.
