Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Methods: Patients with a specified symptomatology, all with pronounced symptoms for long periods of time, were recruited and randomized to surgery (25 pat.) or to multimodal rehabilitation (24 pat.). All patients were investigated before start of the study and at follow-up approximately two years after treatment by four independent examiners from disciplines usually involved in treating WAD patients. The patients also gave their own assessments of the treatment results. Seven patients in each group did not undergo the allocated treatment for various reasons.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
representing different disciplines: neurology, orthopedics, physical medicine and psychology. Each patient´s perceived change in outcome was also assessed. Assessment was made before treatment and at follow-up two years afterwards.
In addition to the assessments of outcome made by the examiners, the patients completed the SF-36, EQ-5D and BIS (Balanced Inventory for Spinal Disorders) questionnaires before treatment and at follow-up. The results of these assessments will be given in a forthcoming paper.
6b. No changes in trial outcomes were made during the study.
