Study Design:
A survey of pain intensity and psychological symptoms in patients with chronic neck pain after whiplash injury.
Objectives:
To describe the pain and psychological profiles of patients with chronic whiplash.
Summary Of Background Data:
Reports in the literature mention a constellation of symptoms associated with chronic whiplash injury but no systematic survey using objective patient report measures has been reported.
Methods:
One hundred forty consecutive referred patients with chronic neck pain after a motor vehicle accident were studied using the SCL-90-R psychological profile and the McGill Pain Questionnaire.
Results:
Psychological profiles and pain intensity ratings, similar to profiles obtained from patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and low back pain of organic origin, were obtained.
Conclusions:
The SCL-90-R is a convenient instrument to administer to patients with whiplash. It yielded a characteristic profile of pain and appears to be more expedient than other psychometric tests for these patients.
