Abstract
Background: Chronic whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) can develop after flexion/extension injuries and may be refractory to standard-of-care therapies. Aim: To present successful treatment of severe, longstanding, treatment resistant WAD with prolotherapy. Materials & methods: Four, monthly sessions of fluoroscopically guided prolotherapy with phenol-glycerin-glucose. Electronic data on pain (visual analog score), disability (Oswestry Disability Index), pain interference, depression, anxiety, sleep and quality of life were collected with University of Washington’s (WA, USA) online tool for a total of 21 months. This study conforms to the Case Report Guidelines (CARE). Results: Significant improvement was achieved and maintained through 18 months after treatment in all assessed pain and functional measures. Conclusion: Regenerative medicine, including prolotherapy may be an appropriate treatment option for carefully selected patients with WAD.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
