Clinical Trial Summary

The broad aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a modern neuroscience approach, which combines education on pain neuroscience with cognition-targeted exercise therapy and stress management, on brain structure and networks in patients with chronic whiplash-associated disorders (CWAD) in comparison to a control physiotherapy treatment.


Clinical Trial Description

This project runs in parallel to a larger randomized-controlled trial (RCT) in which the 'modern neuroscience approach to WAD' is compared to usual care evidence-based physiotherapy (clinical trial registration number: NCT03239938). For the current study, additional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures will be taken in a subsample of patients, who will be recruited from this larger RCT. In addition, a pain-free age- and sex-matched control group will be recruited for comparison. The current study consists of 2 MRI measurements that will take place at the University Hospital of Ghent (UZ Gent): baseline (pre-treatment) and follow-up (post-treatment; approximately 16 weeks after baseline). After pre-treatment assessment, the patients will be randomly allocated to the modern neuroscience approach or usual care physiotherapy, as part of the RCT. ;
