This research aims to evaluate cognitive deficits in patients following soft tissue injury of the cervical spine.
Clinical and psychometric examination of 51 patients with cervical spine injuries.
Assessment included subjective complaints and formal testing of cognitive impairment and attention.
Comparison of a 'cervicoencephalic syndrome' group against a 'lower cervical spine syndrome' group.
Patients with cervicoencephalic syndrome showed significantly poorer results in divided attention tests.
Speed of information processing was reduced in both syndromes but comparable.
Cognitive problems were not related to the duration of time since injury.
