Abstract:

The results of this study are based on 30 patients per treatment group. The primary objective of this trial was evidence of a superior analgesic effect of the verum group under concomitant treatment with physicotherapeutic measures. This objective was achieved and showed a small, but statistically significant and beneficial effect of Wobenzym in the pain self ratings of the patients. The results of erythrocyte sedimentation rates (Westergreen), leukocyte counts and lymphocyte counts as secondary study parameters indicate, that the antiphlogistic effects of Wobenzym provide an additional beneficial effect for the patients suffering from cervical syndrome compared to placebo. In combination with the available safety data of this study, the final interpretation of the authors of this study leads to a superior benefit/risk ratio judgement for Wobenzym compared to placebo.
