Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to address the critical need for effective interventions by developing and testing an interdisciplinary values-based cognitive behavioral therapy (V-CBT) program for individuals with persistent whiplash. The main question it aims to answer are: * What is the treatment effect of the interdisciplinary values-based cognitive behavioral therapy (V-CBT) program on individuals with persistent whiplash? * What are the temporal relationships between primary and secondary outcome measures in the context of the V-CBT program? Participants will undergo a replicated multiple baselines single-case experimental design (SCED). Twelve participants who meet specific eligibility criteria will be block-randomized to a 1, 2, or 3-week baseline phase, serving as their own controls. The intervention involves an interdisciplinary team delivering a manualized adapted V-CBT program over ten sessions, focusing on psychological and physical rehabilitation. Participants will be required to attend these sessions as part of the treatment protocol. Data collection includes daily online self-reports and comprehensive measurements at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and a three-month follow-up.

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Values-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (V-CBT)	The intervention offers a 10-session treatment for chronic Whiplash-Associated Disorder (WAD). The manualized adapted version of value-based cognitive behavioral treatment (V-CBT) is conducted by interdisciplinary teams of psychologists and physiotherapists. The program, based on V-CBT principles, focuses on psychoeducation, fostering self-efficacy, and setting value-based goals in the initial three sessions. The subsequent seven sessions involve physiotherapists trained in V-CBT, addressing psychological, physical, social, and practical barriers hindering engagement in participants' lives. Each session combines psychologically informed themes and supervised exercises, aiming to enhance engagement in values-based activities.
