Abstract
We have conducted a prospective trial of the management of 135 adult patients who had sustained soft-tissue injuries of the neck in vehicle accidents. Early traction and physiotherapy was compared with rest in a collar and unsupervised mobilisation. No benefit from the active treatment could be identified; moulded collars in slight flexion gave the best pain relief and are recommended.Keywords
