        abstract = {Background: Manyastambha is a Vatavyadhi affecting the cervical region presenting with pain, stiffness, tenderness and restricted movements. It correlates with Cervical Spondylosis in contemporary medicine. Nasya Karma is an important Panchakarma procedure for Urdhvajatrugata disorders. Aim: To evaluate and compare Shrungaberadi Yoga Nasya and Gudadi Nasya in Manyastambha (Cervical Spondylosis). Materials and Methods: A prospective, randomized, open-label, parallel group comparative clinical study was conducted on 40 patients (n=20 each). Group A received Shrungaberadi Yoga Nasya and Group B received Gudadi Nasya as Avapeeda Nasya (4 bindu per nostril) once daily for 7 days. Assessments were done on Day 0 (BT), Day 7 (AT), and Day 14 (follow-up). Outcomes included pain (VAS), stiffness, tenderness and cervical ROM. Results: Both groups showed statistically significant improvement in all parameters. Between-group comparison showed comparable reduction in pain and stiffness, while Gudadi Nasya showed sustained advantage in tenderness at follow-up. Conclusion: Both interventions are effective and safe; Gudadi Nasya showed marginally superior improvement in selected objective parameters.},
