Background

Isolated high-velocity and low-amplitude techniques have been shown to be effective in improving joint mobility, supporting the gain of respiratory muscle strength and pulmonary function. However, it is not yet known if osteopathic manipulative therapy can improve these variables.

Objectives

Evaluate the feasibility of a clinical trial and the immediate effects of osteopathic manipulative therapy on thoracoabdominal mobility and its repercussions on respiratory muscle strength and pulmonary function.

Design

This is a preliminary crossover trial.

Methods

Twelve healthy men were allocated to the order of interventions into two groups: osteopathic manipulative therapy group and sham group. Osteopathic manipulative therapy was composed of high-velocity and low-amplitude techniques in cervicothoracic spine transition, thoracic and thoracolumbar spine transition, and myofascial release in cervical fascia and diaphragm. The sham group received simulated treatment. One session was performed at each group. The variables were evaluated pre and post interventions.

Results

There was a significant increase in thoracoabdominal mobility axillary of 7.73 [5.37; 10.08], xiphoid of 4.66 [3.24; 6.07] and abdominal of 4.42 [3.17; 5.68] centimeters in osteopathic manipulative therapy group when compared to sham. We observed an increase of 46.13 [28.06; 64.19] in maximum inspiratory pressure, 29.91 [17.78; 42.04] centimeters of water in maximum expiratory pressure, 0.41 [0.18; 0.65] in forced expiratory volume in the first second and 0.35 [0.05; 0.65] liters in forced vital capacity in the osteopathic manipulative therapy group when compared to the sham group.

Conclusions

Osteopathic manipulative therapy increased thoracoabdominal mobility, respiratory muscle strength and pulmonary function in healthy men.
孤立的高速和低振幅技术已被证明可以有效地改善关节活动,支持呼吸肌力量和肺功能的增加。然而,目前尚不清楚整骨疗法是否可以改善这些变量。目的评价整骨手法治疗胸腹活动度的临床试验可行性及对呼吸肌力和肺功能的影响。这是一个初步的交叉试验。方法将12名健康男性按干预顺序分为整骨手法治疗组和假手术组。整骨手法治疗包括颈胸椎过渡、胸椎和胸腰椎过渡、颈筋膜和横膈膜肌筋膜松解的高速和低振幅手法。假手术组接受模拟治疗。每组进行一次治疗。在干预前后对变量进行评估。结果胸腹活动度显著增高,腋窝为7.73 [5.37;10.08],剑突为4.66 [3.24;6.07]腹部4.42 [3.17];整骨手法治疗组与假手术组比较,长5.68]cm。我们观察到增加了46.13 [28.06;64.19]最大吸气压力29.91 [17.78];42.04]厘米水的最大呼气压,0.41 [0.18;第1秒用力呼气量为0.65,第2秒用力呼气量为0.35 [0.05];与假手术组相比,整骨手法治疗组的用力肺活量减少0.65]升。结论顺势手法治疗可提高健康男性胸腹活动度、呼吸肌力和肺功能。

Background

Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are increasingly being used to quantify and inform valued-based healthcare both globally and in Australia. However, use of these measures in specific allied health professions, notably osteopathy, is lacking.

Objectives

The current study aimed to determine potential barriers and facilitators to the use of PROMs in a cohort of Australian osteopaths.

Methods

Clinically active Australian osteopaths were recruited for the study. Information on potential barriers and facilitators was collected using focus groups (3 groups, n=12) and one-on-one interviews (n=8). Data was examined using thematic analysis which was completed using NVivo 14 for Microsoft Windows.

Results

20 Australian osteopaths participated in the study. Participants identified various factors that may impact or support the routine use of PROMs in osteopathic practice. Themes included environmental, organisational, and individual (clinician and patient) barriers. Time, administration burden, and clinician knowledge were identified as common barriers impeding PROM use, whereas facilitators included improved access to profession-relevant PROMs, access to training and information, and policy-based use.

Conclusion

PROMs provide an opportunity for osteopaths to embrace standardised routine measurement with the potential to support clinical decision-making, empower patients, and help build the professional standard of osteopathic care in Australia. Identifying factors that could hinder or improve routine PROM adoption by osteopaths remains paramount as this information may later be used to develop effective implementation strategies to improve the use of standardised outcome measures in practice.
背景:在全球和澳大利亚,患者报告结果测量(PROMs)越来越多地被用于量化和告知基于价值的医疗保健。然而,在特定的联合卫生专业,特别是整骨疗法中,这些措施的使用是缺乏的。目的:本研究旨在确定在澳大利亚整骨医师队列中使用PROMs的潜在障碍和促进因素。方法招募临床活跃的澳大利亚整骨师进行研究。通过焦点小组(3组,n=12)和一对一访谈(n=8)收集潜在障碍和促进因素的信息。数据使用主题分析进行检查,该分析使用Microsoft Windows的NVivo 14完成。结果20名澳大利亚整骨医生参与了本研究。参与者确定了可能影响或支持在整骨疗法中常规使用PROMs的各种因素。主题包括环境、组织和个体(临床医生和患者)障碍。时间、管理负担和临床医生知识被认为是阻碍PROM使用的常见障碍,而促进因素包括改善对专业相关PROM的获取、获得培训和信息以及基于政策的使用。结论proms为整骨医生提供了一个接受标准化常规测量的机会,有可能支持临床决策,赋予患者权力,并帮助建立澳大利亚整骨治疗的专业标准。确定可能阻碍或改善整骨治疗师常规采用PROM的因素仍然是至关重要的,因为这些信息可能随后用于制定有效的实施策略,以改进实践中标准化结果测量的使用。

Background

Because the practice of osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) put practitioners at risk of contracting COVID-19, they had to adjust treatment practices for active COVID-19 cases and local restrictions or regulations.

Objective

To assess practitioner environment when treating COVID-19 patients with OMM and the general impact of the pandemic on the practice of OMM.

Methods

In October 2020 and March 2022, we distributed surveys to DO-Touch.NET members. Both surveys included 11 questions about treating patients with active COVID-19 and practice changes caused by the pandemic. The second survey also included 4 questions about treating long COVID and 1 question about practice changes in the previous 6 months.

Results

Of 206 responses, 40 reported local restrictions or regulations prevented use of OMM for patients with active COVID-19, but 57 performed OMM on these patients, mostly through outpatient services. Main reasons for not treating COVID-19 patients were lack of opportunity, local protocol restrictions, and personal health concerns. Of 71 responses for the second survey, 48 treated patients with long COVID, primarily in the outpatient setting. The main reason for not treating these patients was lack of opportunity. The most frequently reported practice changes included adoption of universal COVID precautions and screening for COVID.

Conclusion

Study results suggested the COVID-19 pandemic had an immediate, worldwide impact on the practice of OMM by reducing available services to patients with active COVID-19. Although the effectiveness of OMM for treating COVID-19 or long COVID remains unknown, these results may be useful to prepare for future pandemics.
背景:由于整骨推拿医学(OMM)的实践使从业者面临感染COVID-19的风险,他们不得不根据活跃的COVID-19病例和当地的限制或法规调整治疗方法。目的评估新冠肺炎患者OMM的执业环境及疫情对OMM执业的总体影响。方法分别于2020年10月和2022年3月向DO-Touch发放调查问卷。网络成员。这两项调查都包括11个问题,涉及治疗活动性COVID-19患者以及大流行导致的实践变化。第二次调查还包括4个关于治疗长期COVID的问题和1个关于前6个月实践变化的问题。结果在206份答复中,40份报告称当地限制或法规禁止对活动性COVID-19患者使用OMM,但57份对这些患者进行了OMM,主要是通过门诊服务。不治疗COVID-19患者的主要原因是缺乏机会、当地协议限制和个人健康问题。在第二次调查的71个答复中,48个治疗了长冠状病毒患者,主要是门诊患者。不治疗这些病人的主要原因是缺乏机会。最常报告的做法变化包括采用普遍的COVID预防措施和筛查COVID。研究结果表明,COVID-19大流行减少了对活动性COVID-19患者的可用服务,对OMM的实践产生了直接的、全球性的影响。虽然OMM治疗COVID-19或长期性COVID的有效性尚不清楚,但这些结果可能有助于为未来的大流行做准备。

Objective

To identify factors associated with the retention and attrition of regulated osteopaths in Australia.

Methods

An online survey of osteopaths and a retrospective analysis of 10 years of Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) osteopath registration data.

Results

Among surveyed osteopaths, 629 (79.2 %) intended to renew their registration, 85 (10.7 %) intended to leave, and 60 (7.6 %) were unsure. The most common reasons for staying registered included flexible work-life balance (73 %), enjoyment or fulfilling and meaningful work (69 %) and a sense of achievement (58 %). Main factors that would encourage osteopaths to stay were remuneration (60 %), opportunities for career progression (43.5 %) and a flexible work/life balance (28.2 %). Osteopaths with 5 or less years’ experience and those that on casual/temporary contracts were more likely to leave. Analysis of Ahpra registration data from 2014 to 2023, showed that the number of registered osteopaths per 100,000 population increased by 57.0 %, but the number of new osteopaths entering or returning to the profession for each one that leaves decreased by 39 %, indicating higher overall numbers but lower replacement rates.

Conclusions

While the overall number of osteopaths increased from 2014 to 2023, the replacement rate declined, highlighting concerns about potential workforce stability, particularly among osteopaths with 5 or less years’ experience as well as those in casual or temporary employment. Addressing intrinsic workplace factors such as remuneration, opportunities for career progression and a flexible work-life balance may help to encourage more osteopaths to stay in the profession.
目的探讨澳大利亚规范化整骨医生保留和流失的相关因素。方法对骨科医生进行在线调查,并对澳大利亚健康从业者监管局(Ahpra) 10年来的骨科医生注册数据进行回顾性分析。结果629名(79.2%)拟续注册,85名(10.7%)拟离职,60名(7.6%)不确定。最常见的原因包括灵活的工作与生活平衡(73%)、享受或充实而有意义的工作(69%)以及成就感(58%)。鼓励整骨医生留下来的主要因素是薪酬(60%)、职业发展机会(43.5%)和灵活的工作/生活平衡(28.2%)。拥有5年或以下工作经验的整骨医生,以及签订临时/临时合约的整骨医生更有可能离职。对2014年至2023年Ahpra注册数据的分析显示,每10万人口中注册的整骨医生人数增加了57.0%,但每一名新入职或重返该行业的整骨医生人数却减少了39%,表明整体人数较高,但替代率较低。结论:从2014年到2023年,虽然整骨医生的总数有所增加,但替代率却有所下降,这凸显了人们对潜在劳动力稳定性的担忧,尤其是那些工作经验不超过5年的整骨医生,以及那些从事临时或临时工作的整骨医生。解决工作场所的内在因素,如薪酬、职业发展机会和灵活的工作与生活平衡,可能有助于鼓励更多的整骨医生留在这个行业。

Introduction

With an ageing population and limited efficacy of analgesics, alternative strategies for managing chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain in older adults are required. Osteopathy is frequently used by people aged 65 and over and may offer a viable non-pharmacological approach.

Objective

To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week course of osteopathy in older adults with chronic MSK pain.

Methods

A single-arm, prospective, pre–post feasibility study was conducted with twenty participants aged 65+. Feasibility was examined across treatment delivery, study procedures, and methodological processes. Acceptability was assessed using patient-reported experience measures of care quality, treatment satisfaction, and likelihood of recommendation. Secondary outcomes explored potential effects on pain, physical function, quality of life, mental wellbeing, and loneliness, using the Symptom Severity Scale, PSFS, MSK-HQ, SWEMWBS, and UCLA Loneliness Scale, respectively. Data were also used to inform sample size calculations for a definitive future trial.

Results

The intervention demonstrated adequate feasibility and acceptability, with high satisfaction ratings and attrition within acceptable thresholds. Improvements were observed in physical function and quality of life. Sample size calculations indicated that 46 participants would be required in the intervention arm to detect a clinically meaningful MSK-HQ difference in subsequent studies.

Conclusion

A short course of osteopathy for older adults with chronic MSK pain appears feasible and acceptable, with early evidence suggesting benefits in function and quality of life. A larger trial is warranted to confirm these findings and assess clinical effectiveness.

Implications for practice

  • A short course of osteopathy showed good feasibility and acceptability for older adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
  • Six sessions of osteopathy may improve quality of life and function at 3-months when assessed using the MSK-HQ and PSFS.
  • Osteopathy, alongside pain education, exercise and self-care, may improve quality of life in older adults with chronic pain.
随着人口老龄化和镇痛药的疗效有限,老年人慢性肌肉骨骼(MSK)疼痛的治疗需要替代策略。65岁及以上的老年人经常使用整骨疗法,这可能是一种可行的非药物治疗方法。目的评价老年人慢性MSK疼痛12周整骨疗法的可行性和可接受性。方法对20名年龄在65岁以上的患者进行单臂、前瞻性、前后可行性研究。可行性在治疗交付、研究程序和方法学过程中进行了检查。可接受性评估采用患者报告的护理质量、治疗满意度和推荐可能性的经验措施。次要结局分别使用症状严重程度量表、PSFS、MSK-HQ、SWEMWBS和UCLA孤独量表,探讨对疼痛、身体功能、生活质量、心理健康和孤独感的潜在影响。数据也被用于确定未来试验的样本量计算。结果干预具有充分的可行性和可接受性,满意度高,损失率在可接受的阈值范围内。观察到身体功能和生活质量的改善。样本量计算表明,干预组需要46名参与者才能在随后的研究中发现有临床意义的MSK-HQ差异。结论:对于老年慢性MSK疼痛患者,短期骨疗似乎是可行和可接受的,早期证据表明其在功能和生活质量方面的益处。有必要进行更大规模的试验来证实这些发现并评估临床有效性。对实践的启示•短期整骨疗法对慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛的老年人显示出良好的可行性和可接受性。•当使用MSK-HQ和PSFS进行评估时,6次整骨治疗可以改善3个月时的生活质量和功能。•整骨疗法与疼痛教育、锻炼和自我护理一起,可以改善患有慢性疼痛的老年人的生活质量。

Objective

Evaluate the effectiveness of osteopathic manipulative treatment on primary pelvic pain.

Methods

In May 2024, a systematic review was carried out in the MEDLINE, BVS, SciELO, PEDro, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Science Direct, CINAHL, Cochrane and Osteopathic Research databases. The inclusion criteria followed the PICOS strategy, including patients with cyclical or chronic primary pelvic pain, who underwent pragmatic OMT in comparison to another type of therapeutic resource and/or placebo, with pain measured as an outcome. For this review, only randomized controlled clinical trials evaluating the effect of osteopathic manipulative treatment on primary pelvic pain were selected.

Results

1157 studies were found; 5 studies were selected for this systematic review. Among them, 2 were women with primary dysmenorrhea, 2 with people with irritable bowel syndrome and 1 with men with chronic prostatitis. We analyzed the methodological quality and the risk of bias through the Jadad Scale and the Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials - RoB 2 respectively. We used the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation Approach - GRADE tool to assess the level of evidence. The meta-analysis of five studies, with six comparisons, showed that of the 204 participants, 109 who received OMT significantly decreased primary pelvic pain by -1.09 [95%CI = -1.79 to - 0.39] (p =0021).

Conclusion

Considering the results found in this meta-analysis, it is possible to conclude that osteopathic manipulative treatment can be effective in reducing cyclical or chronic primary pelvic pain and may be a new conservative treatment option. However, further studies are needed to improve the level of evidence.
目的评价整骨手法治疗原发性盆腔疼痛的疗效。方法于2024年5月对MEDLINE、BVS、SciELO、PEDro、SCOPUS、Web of Science、Science Direct、CINAHL、Cochrane和Osteopathic Research数据库进行系统评价。纳入标准遵循PICOS策略,包括周期性或慢性原发性骨盆疼痛患者,与其他类型的治疗资源和/或安慰剂相比,接受实用OMT治疗的患者,以疼痛测量为结果。在本综述中,仅选择了评估骨科手法治疗原发性骨盆疼痛效果的随机对照临床试验。结果共发现1157项研究;本系统综述选取了5项研究。其中,女性原发性痛经2例,肠易激综合征2例,男性慢性前列腺炎1例。我们分别通过Jadad量表和经修订的Cochrane随机试验风险偏倚工具RoB 2来分析方法学质量和偏倚风险。我们使用分级推荐评估、发展和评价方法- GRADE工具来评估证据的水平。五项研究的荟萃分析,包括六项比较,显示在204名参与者中,109名接受OMT的患者原发性盆腔疼痛明显减轻了-1.09 [95%CI = -1.79至- 0.39](p =0021)。考虑到本荟萃分析的结果,我们可以得出这样的结论:骨科手法治疗可以有效地减少周期性或慢性原发性盆腔疼痛,可能是一种新的保守治疗选择。然而,需要进一步的研究来提高证据水平。

Objectives

This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise in reducing fatigue, pain, and improving functional status in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Methods

Two independent reviewers conducted an extensive literature search in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases up to August 5, 2024. The review included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing exercise interventions with non-exercise controls in RA patients.

Results

Nine RCTs involving 631 RA patients (358 in the exercise group, 273 in the control group) were included. Exercise significantly reduced fatigue (SMD = −0.71, P = 0.02) and pain (SMD = −0.24, P = 0.008). However, the improvement in functional status (MD = −0.23, P = 0.09) did not reach statistical significance. High heterogeneity was observed for fatigue (I2 = 90 %) and functional status (I2 = 57 %), likely due to variations in study design and sample size.

Conclusions

Exercise significantly reduces fatigue and pain in RA patients, reinforcing its role in comprehensive disease management. Further research is needed to establish optimal exercise protocols and compare them with other therapeutic options to refine RA management strategies.
目的:本荟萃分析旨在评估运动在减轻类风湿性关节炎(RA)患者疲劳、疼痛和改善功能状态方面的有效性。方法两位独立审稿人在PubMed、Embase、Cochrane Library和Web of Science数据库中进行了广泛的文献检索,检索时间截止到2024年8月5日。该综述包括随机对照试验(rct),比较RA患者的运动干预和非运动对照。结果共纳入9项随机对照试验,共纳入631例RA患者,其中运动组358例,对照组273例。运动显著减少疲劳(SMD = - 0.71, P = 0.02)和疼痛(SMD = - 0.24, P = 0.008)。而功能状态的改善(MD = - 0.23, P = 0.09)无统计学意义。在疲劳(I2 = 90%)和功能状态(I2 = 57%)方面观察到高度异质性,可能是由于研究设计和样本量的差异。结论运动可明显减轻RA患者的疲劳和疼痛,增强其在疾病综合管理中的作用。需要进一步的研究来建立最佳的运动方案,并将其与其他治疗方案进行比较,以完善RA的管理策略。

Comparing the effects of home exercise programmes and supervised exercise therapy on functional disability in adults with chronic non-specific low back pain. A Systematic Review of Randomised Controlled Trials 比较家庭运动方案和监督运动疗法对慢性非特异性腰痛成人功能障碍的影响。随机对照试验的系统回顾
IF 1.5 4区 医学 Q2 MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-07-18 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijosm.2025.100778

Background:

Low back pain is the highest contributor to years lived with disability. Many patients experience symptoms lasting over 12 weeks, often without a specific pathology. It remains unclear whether one type of exercise is superior for treating chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP), and few trials have explored whether the exercise setting influences outcomes.

Objective:

To compare the effects of home exercise programmes (HEP) and supervised exercise therapy (SE) on functional disability in adults with CNSLBP.

Method:

MEDLINE, Embase and PEDro were searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating adults (18–65 years) with CNSLBP lasting more than 12 weeks. Trials had to compare SE and HEP effects on functional disability. Databases were searched from inception to January 17th, 2023. Quality was assessed with Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 tool (RoB2). A narrative synthesis was conducted.

Results:

Database search resulted in 2310 hits. 119 were screened in full text, and seven RCTs were included in this review. Most trials were of low quality, scoring either “high risk” or “some concerns” on RoB2. SE was more effective than HEP in four trials, with Cohen’s d effect sizes ranging from near-medium to very large (d=0.43 to 1.12) and statistical significance varying from non-significant (i.e. > 0.05) to strong (i.e. < 0.01).

Conclusions:

There is some evidence that supervised exercise may be more effective than home exercise for improving functional disability in adults with CNSLBP. However, the quality of the trials was low. Higher quality trials are needed to establish definitive conclusions.
背景:腰痛是导致残疾的最大因素。许多患者的症状持续超过12周,通常没有特定的病理。目前尚不清楚是否有一种运动对治疗慢性非特异性腰痛(CNSLBP)更有效,而且很少有试验探讨运动环境是否会影响结果。目的:比较家庭运动方案(HEP)和监督运动疗法(SE)对成人CNSLBP患者功能障碍的影响。方法:检索MEDLINE、Embase和PEDro中评估成人(18-65岁)CNSLBP持续时间超过12周的随机对照试验(RCTs)。试验必须比较SE和HEP对功能性残疾的影响。数据库从开始到2023年1月17日进行了搜索。采用Cochrane风险偏倚2.0工具(RoB2)评价质量。进行了叙事综合。结果:数据库搜索产生2310个命中。全文筛选119项,其中7项rct纳入本综述。大多数试验的质量都很低,在RoB2上的评分要么是“高风险”,要么是“一些值得关注”。在4项试验中,SE比HEP更有效,Cohen 's d效应量从接近中等到非常大(d=0.43 ~ 1.12),统计学显著性从无显著(即>; 0.05)到显著(即<; 0.01)不等。结论:有证据表明,有监督的运动可能比家庭运动更有效地改善成人CNSLBP的功能障碍。然而,试验的质量很低。需要更高质量的试验来确定明确的结论。
