The role of touch in managing psychiatric patients is controversial. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the effectiveness of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in patients with anxiety and or depression. This was an 8-week pilot study comparing a treatment to a control group, each consisting of 10 randomly assigned adult participants with anxiety and or depression on psychotropics. No significant difference existed between groups for age or severity of disease. Participant responses for anxiety and depression were recorded weekly via a modified Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 item (GAD-7) and Harvard National Depression Screening Day (HANDS) scales. From the initial cohort (n=20) a complete database was achieved for 16 of the patients. Statistical analysis was performed using RStudio. Of the 16 patients who successfully participated in the study, 6 received OMT, and 10 were part of the control group. For statistical purposes, the data gathered from both groups were subdivided into two categories: depression and anxiety subgroups. The depression treatment group had a week 1 mean of 24.4 ± 11.2 (n=5) with a paired t-test showing significance at week 7 of 18.0 ± 10.9 (n=5), P = .00767 and week 8 of 15.2 ± 12.5 (n=5), P = .041.The anxiety treatment group had a week 1 mean of 26.0 ± 8.7 (n=5) with paired t-test significant at week 7 of 20.2 ± 10.7 (n=5), P = .019 and week 8 of 19.2 ± 11.1 (n=5), P = .00815.All patients in the treatment group showed significant improvements in their anxiety and depression levels compared to those in the control group, which worsened by week 8. Findings in this study indicate that OMT may be an effective adjunctive treatment modality for depression and anxiety.
触摸在治疗精神病患者中的作用是有争议的。本初步研究的目的是确定骨科手法治疗(OMT)对焦虑和/或抑郁患者的有效性。这是一项为期8周的试验性研究,将治疗组与对照组进行比较,每组由10名随机分配的患有精神药物的焦虑和/或抑郁的成年参与者组成。两组之间在年龄和疾病严重程度上没有显著差异。每周通过改进的广泛性焦虑障碍7项(GAD-7)和哈佛国家抑郁筛查日(HANDS)量表记录参与者的焦虑和抑郁反应。从初始队列(n=20)中,获得了16例患者的完整数据库。使用RStudio进行统计分析。在成功参与研究的16例患者中,6例接受了OMT治疗,10例为对照组。出于统计目的,从两组收集的数据被细分为两类:抑郁和焦虑亚组。抑郁症治疗组第1周平均为24.4±11.2 (n=5),配对t检验显示第7周平均为18.0±10.9 (n=5), P = 0.00767;第8周平均为15.2±12.5 (n=5), P = 0.041。焦虑治疗组第1周平均得分为26.0±8.7 (n=5),配对t检验在第7周为20.2±10.7 (n=5), P = 0.019,第8周为19.2±11.1 (n=5), P = 0.00815。与对照组相比,治疗组所有患者的焦虑和抑郁水平都有显著改善,而对照组的焦虑和抑郁水平在第8周恶化。本研究结果表明,OMT可能是一种有效的抑郁和焦虑的辅助治疗方式。

Restoration of blood flow is critical to a blocked coronary blood vessel. With respect to the heart, two main procedures, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) revascularize the area to prevent future blockages. Post-procedurally, bed rest iatrogenically produces non-life-threatening back pain.1,2 No exact guideline for the duration of post-procedural bed rest exists but recommendations range from 2 to 24 hours.1 However, research has shown that bed rest beyond 4 hours significantly increased the presence of post-procedural back pain.1,2 Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is the term ascribed to a number of categories of manual techniques used by osteopathic physicians to treat somatic dysfunctions, to complement conventional management in patient care. In this case report, we discuss a patient with post-procedural upper thoracic pain that resolves with OMT, demonstrating that OMT may play a useful post-PCI role in the care of patients who undergo stent procedures.

In this case report, osteopathic manipulative treatment restored hearing to an 8-year-old female suffering from conductive hearing loss. Numerous factors can result in hearing loss. In children and adolescents, mild or greater hearing loss occurs with a prevalence of 3.1%.1 Current osteopathic literature focuses on conductive hearing loss due to middle ear effusion (MEE).This case report examines an 8-year-old female presumed to have permanent conductive hearing loss without MEE after a traumatic ATV accident. The use of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) resulted in complete resolution of the patient’s conductive hearing loss. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case report documenting the successful use of OMT to treat conductive hearing loss without MEE. Being able to recognize and understand the connection between the primary respiratory mechanism (PRM), which includes the cranial bones and nerves, allows an osteopathic physician to provide a unique approach to patient care and the use of OMT as a treatment modality for conductive hearing loss should be considered.

Osteopathic physicians played a pivotal role in treating patients suffering from the H1N1 influenza A virus of the 1918 Influenza Pandemic. This article focuses on case reports and questionnaire answers from the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association (JAOA), now the Journal of Osteopathic Medicine (JOM), and Osteopathic Physician concerning the modalities, techniques, and efficacy of osteopathic treatments of the 1918 pandemic. There are 19,565 patients who are represented in this analysis. The results are compared to the often-cited 110,120 patient cases reported by the JOM in 1920. Several different approaches, including lymphatic and visceral techniques, were widely used at the time, and their historic incorporation into patient treatment is explored. There is a discussion of the geographic location and characteristics of the practices. Statistical breakdown of mortality rate, the most commonly used approaches, somatic dysfunctions commonly treated, physician anecdotes, and other common remedies used by osteopathic physicians, are noted additionally. A comparison is done of the literature regarding the osteopathic approach for COVID-19. The newly analyzed case reports in this article demonstrate a similar mortality rate as in the 1920 JAOA article and illustrate the geographical distribution, treatment approaches, and personal stories of osteopaths during the pandemic.

This paper reviews a multimodal approach to the treatment of acute pain. Early recognition of systemic changes in pain indicators may be efficacious for the patient and practitioner to understand the subjective pain response. The application of osteopathic manipulative medicine may be beneficial during de-escalation therapy of opioid pain medication when the patient is experiencing symptoms consistent with opioid-induced hyperalgesia syndrome. Improved education and recognition of opioid-induced hyperalgesia can potentially improve medical management with the use of osteopathic manipulative treatment.

This paper reviews the basic science of disc disease (DD), which suggests; osteopathic manipulative medicine addresses the causes and symptoms of DD, can reverse its pathologic cascade, prevent its side effects and future episodes. The paper will use the modern scientific understanding of disc disease to show the body is a self-regulating, self-healing unified whole, structure and function are interrelated at all levels, and intervertebral disc cells contain the biochemical and physiologic capacity for self-healing. This evidence suggests osteopathic intervention initiates and magnifies this healing process. The paper will also discuss the authors’ experience with a treatment protocol for DD, based on osteopathic principles.

Research is emphasized as a critical component of Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Osteopathic Recognition (OR) criteria, yet there remains a deficit of osteopathic contributions to the literature. Scholar 12 combines discrete research development tools into an interactive application and blog forum that guides students from research team formation with an agreed-upon query to a scholarly product and presentations. This study aims to evaluate a beta test of Scholar 12 in developing a scholarly culture within medical school education. An unblinded prospective cohort beta trial by 6 osteopathic medical students across different campuses provided feedback for improvement measures and self-assessed research skill competency before and after completing Scholar 12 on an accelerated time frame. The pre- and post-Scholar 12 surveys scored 12 skills based on learning objectives for each unit on a 5-point Likert scale. The composite results from self-assessments of 6 medical students demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in research skill familiarity by the completion of Scholar 12 (p<0.001). The osteopathic profession has opportunity to advance clinical practice and fulfill ACGME OR initiatives with evidence-based medical research. Scholar 12 is a foundational educational tool and aims to engage medical students, residents, and attendings with scholarly work, regardless of experience level. The present survey provides a preliminary measure of the efficacy of Scholar 12 in improving medical students’ knowledge of creating new scholarly work. General feedback has been communicated to the application developer and editorial staff for improvement measures before the 2020 nationwide launch. Despite the statistical significance of these students’ self-reported progress, additional beta trials; blinded, long-term evaluation of students’ and mentors’ productivity as a result of this research learning tool; and controlled comparison to other research development programs are warranted. Scholar 12 is designed to accommodate students’ academic obligations with a convenient, virtual tool to learn the research process on a flexible schedule, in order to meet generational needs.
