Summary

Introduction. Neck pain is one of the main causes of incapacity for work. The economic impact of neck pain is considerable due to the cost of medical treatment and physiotherapy. Accidents in itinere, those that occur on the way between home and the workplace, can cause pain and functional impairment.

Objective. To analyze the relationship between the time off work following accidents on the way to and from work and the type of treatment received.

Material and method. Multicenter retrospective cohort study. Data will be collected from 146 patients. The primary variable of the study will be the time on sick leave (in days), with the type of intervention received (manual therapy or not) being the dependent variable. The secondary variables, estimated as modifying or confounding, will be the intensity of the pain (visual analog scale), sex, age, occupational cervical strain, type of contract (salaried/self-employed) and the number of physiotherapy sessions received.

Observational cohort group

As this is an observational cohort study, there will be no intervention. In this study, only retrospective data will be collected for subsequent analysis. Similarly, the aim is to assess the relationship between the time on sick leave and the type of physiotherapy treatment received by patients. As this is an observational and retrospective cohort study, there is no risk derived from the development of the study for the subjects whose data form part of the study.
