Auszug
Der Grund warum Distorsionstraumata der Halswirbelsäule (HWS) zu chronischen Schmerzen führen, bleibt bei vielen Patienten ein Rätsel. Besonders verwirrend ist die Tatsache, dass oft keine oder geringe objektive Anhaltspunkte gefunden werden, die das Ausmaß der Beschwerden und Behinderungen erklären können. Ein möglicher Grund der Diskrepanz zwischen Feststellung von peripheren Verletzungen und Beschwerden kann darin liegen, dass die heute zur Verfügung stehenden diagnostischen Mittel ungenügend sind, um periphere Verletzungen auszuschließen. Ein Beispiel dafür ist die Tatsache, dass Facettengelenksverletzungen bei Obduktionen an Unfallopfern nicht mit Computertomographie (CT) festgestellt werden [19].
