DESCRIPTION
Whiplash Injury: A Model for Development of Chronic Pain
compiles the proceedings of the March,
2014 IASP Research Symposium into one convenient volume, providing state-of-the-art information on the
biopsychosocial factors involved in the development and course of chronic pain after whiplash. Global ex-
perts in biomechanics, anatomy, psychology, and clinical practice focus on ways to advance research, un-
derstanding, prevention, and treatment, with a collaborative point of view that benefits both pain researchers
and clinicians who treat patients with whiplash.
FEATURES
Topics range from neurobiological mechanisms of pain, clinical pain, and disability assessment to
psychosocial aspects, as well as future treatment options for chronic whiplash patients. This unique
volume provides an overview of current knowledge on:
Epidemiology
Clinical aspects of short- and long-term consequences of mild traumatic neck injury
Ongoing biomechanical studies in animals, specimens, and humans who sustain neck injuries
Prospective identification of the risk factors for widespread pain and chronicity after neck injury
Factors to consider in developing innovative and integrative prevention and intervention programs
and more.
