💥 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. 📊 What this study found (see graphic): • Some labels (e.g., whiplash-associated disorder, post-traumatic neck pain, neck pain) more frequently trigger negative feelings & psychological distress. • “Neck pain” most commonly promoted need for passive care & imaging • “Neck strain” least commonly evoked negative feelings while most commonly encouraged exercise 💡 Clinicians may consider avoiding labels that linked with negative beliefs and lower guideline-recommended care. 👉 Read the full study: doi.org/10.1016/j.msks… #NeckPain #Whiplash #PainScience #HealthCommunication #MVC #ClinMed #Pain #DiagnosticLabel
