Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study investigates the sensory profile of people suffering from whiplash associated disorders (WAD) during rehabilitation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Altered pain sensitivity is commonly reported in WAD populations when compared to a healthy control group but how/if this changes over time during rehabilitation is unclear. This study investigates the effect of 2 weeks rehabilitation protocol on pain sensitivity in a group suffering from WAD compared to a healthy control group.
