Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Introduction. Whiplash is common after road traffic accidents and affects millions of people worldwide; 50% develop chronic symptoms and 15% have their ability to work compromised. The aim of this study was to evaluate an osteopathic intervention in whiplash and determine whether pain, mobility and quality of life improve with respect to conventional treatment. Methodology. A randomised, controlled clinical trial between 13/01/2021\_10/08/2022 conducted at Hospital San Juan de Dios del Aljarafe. The control group followed the hospital's protocol, and the experimental group also received an osteopathic intervention. Statistical analysis: Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS-vs27.0); intra-subject comparison: Student's t-test for dependent samples, Wilcoxon's test; inter-group comparisons: Student's t-test for independent samples, Mann-Whitney U, chi-squared.
