The symptoms reported by patients who have experienced minor head or minor neck injury are compared. Symptoms were identified using a questionnaire-based out-patients interview. Rank order correlation analyses were carried out on data obtained at 2 and 6-12 weeks post-injury. Data on 24 head-injured and 29 neck-injured patients are presented. There was a significant rank order correlation at both assessments but neck injured patients reported more phobia (fear of travelling in car) and depression, and head-injured more dizziness. It is likely that neck-injury contributes to the symptomatology experienced after minor head injury, and vice-versa.
对经历过轻度头部或轻度颈部损伤的患者报告的症状进行了比较。症状通过基于问卷的门诊访谈来确定。对受伤后2周和6 - 12周获得的数据进行了等级相关分析。呈现了24例头部受伤患者和29例颈部受伤患者的数据。在两次评估中均存在显著的等级相关性,但颈部受伤患者报告有更多的恐惧症(害怕乘车)和抑郁,而头部受伤患者更多地报告头晕。颈部损伤可能导致轻度头部损伤后出现的症状,反之亦然。
