/Objectives : The number of patients with cervical spine pain has been increasing in recent years, and some have been diagnosed with chronic cervicocephalic syndrome (CCS). Collagen mesotherapy of the spine is increasingly being used to treat chronic pain syndromes. This retrospective observational study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of collagen mesotherapy in the course of CCS....

Discussion
Signed responses from readers of the wire.
No actionable change for audiology practice; this study concerns a pain management intervention for cervical spine conditions, with no direct implication for hearing or vestibular clinical care.
Cervical spine disorders are sometimes linked to dizziness and balance complaints seen in audiology clinics; evidence on novel cervical treatments is of peripheral interest to vestibular specialists considering multidisciplinary referral pathways.
- 01Retrospective observational study assessed collagen mesotherapy for chronic cervicocephalic syndrome (neck/head pain from cervical spine issues).
- 02No control group; retrospective design limits ability to rule out placebo effect or natural recovery.
- 03Safety profile and efficacy endpoints were evaluated from patient records.
- 04Cervicocephalic syndrome can include dizziness, making the condition of some relevance to vestibular audiologists.
