Whiplash is common after road traffic accidents and affects millions of people worldwide; 50% develop chronic symptoms and 15% have their ability to work compromised. The aim of this study was to evaluate an osteopathic intervention in whiplash and determine whether pain, mobility and quality of life improve with respect to conventional treatment.Methodology. A randomised, controlled clinical trial between 13/01/2021_10/08/2022 conducted at Hospital San Juan de Dios del Aljarafe. The control group followed the hospital's protocol, and the experimental group also received an osteopathic intervention. Statistical analysis: Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS-vs27.0); intra-subject comparison: Student's t-test for dependent samples, Wilcoxon's test; inter-group comparisons: Student's t-test for independent samples, Mann-Whitney U, chi-squared., conditionsModule conditions: Whiplash Injury of Cervical Spine, conditions: Osteopathia, conditions: Quality of Life, conditions: Chronic Pain Syndrome, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: SINGLE_GROUP, interventionModelDescription: Randomised controlled clinical trial, primaryPurpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE, maskingInfo masking: TRIPLE, maskingDescription: The study was blinded: patients were unaware of the group to which they had been assigned. Patient evaluations at the start and end were performed by a physiotherapist different to the one performing the intervention, who was also unaware of the patient assignment. The same person performed all therapies for both the control and intervention groups and was unaware of the pre-intervention measurements. The statistician who analysed the data was also unaware of the group to which each patient belonged., whoMasked: PARTICIPANT, whoMasked: INVESTIGATOR, whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 52, type: ACTUAL, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Osteopathic intervention, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Cervical Pain, primaryOutcomes measure: Quality of life in Whiplash Disability, primaryOutcomes measure: Functionality-Neck Disability Index, secondaryOutcomes measure: Number of sites, secondaryOutcomes measure: Number of analgesics, otherOutcomes measure: Measuring mobility using inclinometry, otherOutcomes measure: Measurement of pressure pain using algometry, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, maximumAge: 55 Years, stdAges: ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: María Victoria RUIZ ROMERO, city: Bollullos de la Mitación, state: Sevilla, zip: 41110, country: Spain, geoPoint lat: 37.34014, lon: -6.13719, hasResults: False
