Associations between resting heart rate, resting blood pressure, psychological variables and pain processing in chronic whiplash-associated disorder: a cross-sectional study.
Abstract
Autonomic nervous system dysfunction has been implicated in chronic whiplash-associated disorder (WAD). However, the relationship between autonomic variables (e.g., resting heart rate and blood pressure) and clinical factors in chronic WAD is not well understood. This study sought to examine the associations between resting heart rate, resting blood pressure, pain processing and psychological variables in chronic WAD and in pain-free controls.
