60 patients with whiplash-associated disorders were included in the study and randomized to undergo treatment with a 3-month neck specific exercise program, or to remain on the waiting list (no treatment). The study was conducted in order to determine if the exercise program was effective in addressing symptoms associated with the disorder and in improving the quality of life in comparison to a control group. Findings displayed significantly greater and clinically relevant improvements with the active intervention in terms of Neck Disability Index, Self-Efficacy Scale, and the EuroQol 5-dimension self-classification questionnaire scores in comparison to the waiting list group. While the exercise group reported significantly improved outcomes in all assessments, the waiting list group reported significantly worsening results in all outcomes except the Pain Disability Index.
