dc.description.abstract | Objectives: Physical and psychological symptoms of individuals
with chronic whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) are
modulated by successful treatment with cervical radiofrequency
neurotomy (cRFN). However, not all individuals
respond to cRFN, and it is unknown which clinical features
predict successful response to cRFN.
Methods: This prospective cohort study investigated 53
individuals with chronic WAD (36 female, 17 male; mean
age = 44.7 10.9 (SD) years) who underwent cRFN. Predictor
variables measured at baseline (prior to RFN)
included self-reported pain (VAS), disability (NDI), posttraumatic
stress symptoms (PDS), pain catastrophizing
(PCS), and measures of sensory hypersensitivity (pressure
and cold pain thresholds). The outcome measure was
perceived Global Rating of Change (where scores ≥ 4 were
classified as a successful response) 3 months post-cRFN.
Results: Univariate logistic regression demonstrated that
lower levels of disability and pain catastrophizing were
associated with successful response of cRFN (both P < 0.05).
Multivariable logistic regression demonstrated that low levels
of pain catastrophizing and disability remained significant
predictors of a successful response to cRFN (both P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Low levels of pain catastrophizing and disability
independently predicted a successful response to cRFN in
patients with chronic WAD | |
