People suffering from whiplash associated disorder (chronic whiplash) can experience significant pain and/or disability lasting many months, and sometimes years following a traumatic event or episode of severe neck pain. Despite ongoing efforts to address the needs of these patients, there are limited treatment options.
Though there is limited research evidence to support their use, patients and practitioners can turn to homeopathy and over-the-counter homeopathic remedies as one possible therapeutic option. Anecdotes and homeopathic literature suggest that homeopathic remedies may be a safe and effective treatment option for those patients who continue to experience symptoms chronically.
This pilot, feasibility study will examine whether commonly recommended homeopathic remedies decrease disability and pain in people suffering from chronic whiplash.
Following an assessment and confirmation of chronic whiplash disorder, this study will involve once/month study visits for up to a period of 4 months. Participants will complete standardized assessment of pain and disability at each study visit. Homeopathic remedies will be dispensed by the study staff - participants will be required to take homeopathics at the recommended dose.
