Annina Schmid @anninaschmid.bsky.social · 05/03/2025and most importantly, a massive thank you to all participants who made this study possible. thank you for your generous time commitment and patience! @ndcnoxford.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk 030
Annina Schmid @anninaschmid.bsky.social · 05/03/2025A massive thank you again to all co-authors, particularly Joel Fundaun, Colette Ridehalgh and Andrew Dilley. Particular thanks to our generous funders @versusarthritis.bsky.social @medresfdn.bsky.social 140
Annina Schmid @anninaschmid.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Overall, our results present a complex phenotypic profile for people with WADII and provide evidence suggestive of peripheral neuroinflammation in a subgroup of individuals. 120
Annina Schmid @anninaschmid.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Several serum pro-inflammatory cytokines were raised in people with WADII. So inflammation can be detected systemically. x.com/AnninaBSchmi... 130
Annina Schmid @anninaschmid.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Magnetic resonance imaging T2 signal ratio was increased in the C5 root of the brachial plexus and the C5-C8 dorsal root ganglia in WADII participants compared with healthy controls. We did not find changes in the distal median nerve trunk. 110
Annina Schmid @anninaschmid.bsky.social · 05/03/2025In the other publication published in @painthejournal.bsky.social, we focussed on the presence of neuroinflammation in these patients using MRI, serum cytokine evaluation as well as other measures. journals.lww.com/pain/fulltex...journals.lww.comEvidence for peripheral neuroinflammation after acute... : PAINa subgroup with underlying nerve involvement in WADII, such as peripheral neuroinflammation.

Annina Schmid @anninaschmid.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Multivariable linear regression suggested low-cost bedside tests for hypoaesthesia at the index finger were prognostic for whiplash-related upper quadrant pain 6-months post-injury, however this association was weak. 110
Annina Schmid @anninaschmid.bsky.social · 05/03/2025We also took skin biopsies. Intraepidermal nerve fibre densities at the index finger were not significantly different between groups. However, dermal myelinated nerve bundles at the index finger were reduced 6-months post-injury in participants with WADII compared to controls. 110
Annina Schmid @anninaschmid.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Intriguingly, these functional changes were accompanied by elevated serum neurofilament light chain levels (a marker for axonal damage) acutely after whiplash. This normalised 6 months later. This suggests there is actual structural damage to axons in some people with WADII. 110
Annina Schmid @anninaschmid.bsky.social · 05/03/2025QST demonstrated significantly reduced thermal and mechanical detection thresholds in acute WADII compared to controls, some of which persisted at 6 months. 110
Annina Schmid @anninaschmid.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Within 4 weeks of injury, 65% of people with WADII had neuropathic pain which persisted in 32% 6-months post-injury. 121
Annina Schmid @anninaschmid.bsky.social · 05/03/2025In this @brain1878.bsky.social publication, we demonstrate that people with WADII (traditionally not considered to involve nerve injury) have signs of functional and structural nerve pathology. academic.oup.com/brain/advanc...academic.oup.comValidate User 131
Annina Schmid @anninaschmid.bsky.social · 05/03/2025What an exciting week: two papers published in @brain1878.bsky.social and @painthejournal.bsky.social on the findings from our whiplash cohort.
