Neurogenic cervical spondylosis is a disease in which the nerve roots are compressed due to herniated intervertebral discs or bony hyperplasia, thus causing symptoms such as pain, abnormal sensation, or loss of muscle strength in the distribution area of the corresponding nerves, and it is a common type of cervical spondylosis, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Guizhi decoction with Gegen is one of Zhang Zhongjing's prescription, composed of Gui Zhi, Paeoniae Alba, Ginger, Jujubes, Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae, Pueraria Mirifica, which is made of Guizhi decoction with Pueraria Mirifica. It has the efficacy of relieving muscle release, generating fluids to relieve tendons, and harmonising camps to pass through the channels and collaterals, and can be used widely for rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and other diseases in addition to good treatment of wind-cold colds and flu. It is found that Guizhi decoction with Gegen can achieve the purpose of treating neurogenic cervical spondylosis by improving microcirculation, regulating the autonomic nerves as well as immune anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. This paper summarises the mechanism of action and clinical application of Guizhi decoction with Gegen and the active ingredients of single herbs in the treatment of neurogenic cervical spondylosis, with the aim of providing references for the treatment of neurogenic cervical spondylosis with traditional Chinese medicine.
