The effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral exercise approach (CBEA) compared to usual care in patients with a Whiplash associated disorder: A quasi-experimental clinical trial.

CONCLUSIONS: This quasi-experimental clinical trial provides evidence that a CBEA for self-training of the neck may be more beneficial in treating pain than usual care in patients with WAD. However, the CBEA had limited value in improving NDI. Future studies should include several therapists, a measure of a long-term outcomes and randomize patients to groups.
