Summary

This study looked back at the medical records of 170 adults with chronic neck pain from whiplash injuries. It compared two treatments: radiofrequency (using heat to calm pain nerves) and surgery (fusing neck bones). The goal was to see which provides better pain relief and recovery over time. No new treatments were given; researchers simply analyzed past data to help guide future choices.
