Relationship between neck motion and self-reported pain in patients with whiplash associated disorders during the acute phase.

Background: Biomechanical measures quantify motor control and functional deficits in Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD), but few studies relate those measures to the clinical scales that are routinely used to assess patients. Most studies are limited to chronic neck pain, and report poor to moderate correlations.

Objective: To define a statistical model that relates measures of neck kinematics with clinical scales of neck pain, in WAD patients during the rehabilitation process in the acute phase (less than 3 months since the accident).

[Prevalence of migraine in a sample population of school children].

Introduction: The object of this study was to determine the prevalence of migraine in school children in our area, since few such studies have been done.

Material And Methods: The study was carried out by means of a questionnaire given to school children aged between 6 and 14. We selected a representative sample of the population, the size of which was determined by accepting as a reference value the 4% mentioned by Bille.
