Authors' recommendations:
Study found that additional training for emergency departments in an active management approach, supplemented by The Whiplash Book, was no more effective than usual care in reducing disability associated with acute neck injuries. Physiotherapy had a modest effect in improving the rate of recovery and reducing sickness absence, but was not cost-effective from an NHS perspective.
