Osteopathic Manipulation Makes a Neuropsychological Difference (NCT04058431)
Examining Osteopathic Manipulation on Making a Neuropsychological Brain of Difference in Adults With Pain: A BOD Study Protocol and Rationale for a New Approach
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Patients with pain commonly experience cognitive impairment. While symptoms of pain are effectively treated with osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), the cognitive piece is vastly ignored. Pain-induced cognitive dysfunction can be severe and is particularly apparent in working memory and attention. There is good reason to also expect cognitive responsiveness to OMT. Previous research has already reported related psychiatric outcomes, including relief from stress, self-perception and anxiety, suggesting that OMT may produce more global effects on cortical processing than currently thought.
