Focus groups on neck pain treatment (people with and without neck pain can participate)

Woman on a computer participating in an online focus group

We are seeking people with and without long-term neck pain to help us design research on clinical management.

The project

We are undertaking focus groups to inform a future study evaluating patient preferences and values for early treatment of neck pain after ‘whiplash’ neck injuries.

Who can participate

We are looking for two groups of people:

People experiencing long-term neck pain (lasting more than 3 months) from any cause, not only from whiplash
People without long-term neck pain

What is involved

You will participate in a 60-minute online focus group
Focus groups will help design questions for a future online survey, by seeking your feedback on factors important for recovery and clinical decision-making
Participants will be reimbursed for their time with a $50 gift voucher
