Efficacy of Osteopathic Manipulation on Breathing Mechanics in a Healthy Population: A Randomized Controlled Study

NCT04975542•Jayla Bostic

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study focused on improving breathing mechanics by using various osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) techniques. The investigators randomly assigned participants to a control group who received sham treatment and a treatment group who received OMT. The investigators measured variable pre- and post- treatment on both groups. The investigators observed an improvement in breathing mechanics in the treatment group.
