[Headaches and cervicarthrosis : arthrosis, vascular or psychic origin? (author's transl)].

Cervicarthrosis is an extremely frequent disease yet often appears as asymptomatic. It can however give birth to varied clinical manifestations, for which it can be held responsible together with other factors : inflammatory as in cervico-brachial neuralgia, vascular as in cervicarthrosis medullopathy, psychological as in posterior cervicalgia and headaches belonging to the classical Barré-Liéou syndrom. We must stress the therapeutic interest of tiapride, which acts on the algic element as well as on the element of psychological tension in the last case.
