This 29th volume of the Evidence-based Clinical Chinese Medicine series offers a comprehensive "whole evidence" analysis of cervical radiculopathy management in integrative Chinese medicine. It begins with an overview of how cervical radiculopathy is understood and treated in both conventional and contemporary Chinese medicine. The authors delve into historical treatments using herbal medicine and acupuncture. Subsequent chapters review the clinical trial evidence for Chinese herbal medicines, acupuncture, other Chinese therapies, and combination therapies in managing cervical radiculopathy, evaluating these studies from an evidence-based medicine perspective. A dedicated chapter summarizes the experimental evidence for the bioactivity of commonly used Chinese herbs. The findings are discussed in a concluding chapter, highlighting implications for clinical practice and future research. This volume serves as a valuable resource for clinicians and students in integrative and Chinese medicine, providing insights into contemporary practices and the evidence base for various therapies, including herbal formulas and acupuncture, to support evidence-based decision-making in patient care.
