Chronic whiplash and headache study
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study uses MRI to look at the alignment of the atlas (the top bone in your neck) and nearby tissues in people with chronic whiplash or tension headaches. The results may help researchers better understand these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares people with cervicogenic headache (headache from neck problems) to see if a simple neck test can tell them apart. It aims to help doctors diagnose this type of headache better.
This study looks at physical differences between people with cervicogenic headache (a headache that starts in the neck), people with chronic neck pain without headache, and healthy controls. By comparing these groups, researchers hope to better understand what causes the headache and which physical features are specific to it.
This study tests if combining spinal manipulation and dry needling can reduce headache and neck pain in people who have had whiplash from a car accident. It may help if you've had symptoms for more than 4 weeks.
This study tests whether specific neck exercises can help people with whiplash-related neck pain. If you've had a recent whiplash injury and have moderate pain, this program may improve your recovery.
This study looks at why headaches can become long-lasting (“chronified”) by combining answers from online questionnaires, brain imaging, and blood protein tests. Your participation may help researchers find biological clues that could improve how headache problems are understood and treated.
This study looks at how head posture, neck muscle endurance, and neck joint sense relate to headaches that come from the neck in late teens. If you join, you'll help researchers understand these connections, which could lead to better treatments.
