Pain in the neck Whiplash treatment often not effective [Newspaper Article]

Altman, Lawrence K
Whiplash, a common neck injury that affects 120,000 Americans a year, is little understood and often ineffectively treated. An international team of experts who reviewed more than 10,000 scientific articles published in the last 15 years found little scientifically rigorous evidence to justify most existing therapies, and also found that most are prescribed by doctors who are poorly trained in caring for whiplash patients. Whiplash often results when the impact of an accident suddenly thrusts the victim's head backward and then forward, injuring the muscles and soft tissue in the neck and upper spine to produce neck pain and limit motion of the neck. Whiplash may result from rear-end or side-impact motor vehicle collisions, but it can also occur during diving and other mishaps

WHIPLASH STILL A MYSTERY, INTERNATIONAL STUDY FINDS [Newspaper Article]

Altman, Lawrence K
An international team of experts who reviewed more than 10,000 scientific articles published in the last 15 years found little scientifically rigorous evidence to justify most existing therapies, and found that most are prescribed by doctors who are poorly trained in caring for whiplash patients. Moreover, there is no generally accepted uniform approach for the management of whiplash, the authors said in a scathing report published in the journal Spine and discussed last week at a news conference in Montreal. The authors said they believed it was the most comprehensive study of whiplash ever done.

Whiplash treatments found to be ineffective [Newspaper Article]

Altman, Lawrence K
Whiplash, a common neck injury that affects 120,000 Americans a year, usually after automobile accidents, is little understood and often ineffectively treated, a new study has found. An international team of experts who reviewed more than 10,000 scientific articles published in the past 15 years found little evidence to justify most existing therapies, and also found that most are prescribed by doctors who are poorly trained in caring for whiplash patients. Moreover, there is no generally accepted uniform approach for the management of whiplash, the authors said in a scathing report published in the journal Spine and discussed this week at a news conference in Montreal.
