Article Synopsis
  • Whiplash injury (WHI) commonly occurs in car accidents, leading to chronic pain disorders, especially impacting areas in the brain responsible for pain processing.
  • This study used magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to compare brain metabolite concentrations in individuals with chronic whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) and neuropathic pain (NP) to those without.
  • Results showed higher glutamate in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and lower total choline in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in the WAD-NP group, suggesting specific metabolic changes linked to pain severity.

Previous preliminary work mapped the distribution of neck muscle fat infiltration (MFI) in the deep cervical extensor muscles (multifidus and semispinalis cervicis) in a small cohort of participants with chronic whiplash associated disorders (WAD), recovered, and healthy controls. While MFI was reported to be concentrated in the medial portion of the muscles in all participants, the magnitude was significantly greater in those with chronic WAD. This study aims to confirm these results in a prospective fashion with a larger cohort and compare the findings across a population of patients with varying levels of WAD-related disability one-year following the motor vehicle collision.

Background Context: Predicting recovery after traumatic neck pain has become an active area of research but is moving in several different directions with currently little consensus on the important outcomes to predict or relevant variables to predict them.

Purpose: This editorial explores the current state of prognostic (risk)-based tools or algorithms for predicting the likelihood of chronic problems after acute axial trauma, with a focus on traumatic neck pain (ie, whiplash-associated disorder).

Study Design/setting: This paper has an editorial study design.
