Psychological treatment of whiplash pain
A study at Swedish University Hospital Karolinska, Exposure and acceptance in patients with chronic debilitating pain: A behavior therapy model to improve functioning and quality of life, suggest a therapy that promotes acceptance of chronic pain and distress. This type of intervention is aimed at improving functioning and quality of life by increasing the ability to act in alignment with personal values also in the presence of e.g. pain, fear, and negative thoughts.
The study suggests that there is substantial empirical support for treatments based on cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), where a person learns how to cope with e.g. chronic pain. The findings suggest that CBT is an efficient way of getting a new outlook on life if you are suffering from chronic whiplash pain.
What do you think?
The Swedish medical rehabilitation system has sadly a very long history and tradition of corruption. -The research studies show whatever the industry/customer want them to show.
