Melatonin for Chronic Whiplash Syndrome
I must admit that this seems like quite a novel approach, even coming for a nutrition-oriented physician that treats whiplash patients frequently. A certain percentage of whiplash patients will experience a syndrome, sometimes referred to as post-concussive syndrome; a constellation of symptoms including fuzzy thinking, diffuse headache and poor sleep. I do know that sleep is an essential part of the healing process, and that patients in severe pain to not usually sleep well. This approach may end up being another tool in the toolbox of effectively treating patients after trauma.
