Funded Activity Summary

Following a whiplash injury about one third of people develop persisting pain and disability i.e. chronic whiplash. In a series of pilot trials we have developed a new physiotherapy treatment for chronic whiplash. Initial results are very promising. We now propose to definitively establish the effectiveness of this new treatment in a large clinical trial. At the same time we will evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the treatment.
