๐ฅ New research out now!
Different labels for neck pain after a motor vehicle crash can influence how people feel, what they expect, and the treatments they prefer.
๐ What this study found (see graphic):
โข Some labels (e.g., whiplash-associated disorder, post-traumatic neck pain, neck pain) more frequently trigger negative feelings & psychological distress.
โข โNeck painโ most commonly promoted need for passive care & imaging
โข โNeck strainโ least commonly evoked negative feelings while most commonly encouraged exercise
๐ก Clinicians may consider avoiding labels that linked with negative beliefs and lower guideline-recommended care.

I'm not sure there is a more productive group of PT researchers in the world, than in Spain. They consistently have something published or in the works. Here is a recent paper in @MSKPhysioJnl Reference is here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4015โฆ

๐ New Research Alert! ๐
๐ข Key Finding: Physically inactive older adults are more likely to experience severe pain, while other lifestyle factors play a weaker role.
โจ Why it matters?
Since these lifestyle factors are modifiable, this research can help guide preventive strategies to reduce pain and promote healthy ageing. ๐โโ๏ธ๐
