Abstract

Traffic accidents often result in post-traumatic neck pain (1), affecting both society and individuals (2,3). 15-25% of those injured continue to experience symptoms and functional impairment 1 year after the accident (4,5). Both physical (6) and psychosocial (7) factors contribute to the development of chronic pain. Hyper arousal can be associated with increased pain sensitization (8,9). A biomarker of hyper arousal (i.e., stress response) and the onset of posttraumatic stress is low heart rate variability (HRV) (10).
