This scoping review evaluates the efficacy of OMT in elderly patients by analyzing selected studies that specifically explore its effects on balance, quality of life, and pain management.

Although a large proportion of US emergency physicians are osteopathic physicians, the frequency of osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) use in emergency departments (EDs) is unknown. The aim of this study was to estimate the frequency of OMM in EDs across the United States and describe the cohort who received OMM.

Research on the effects of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) on visual functions and conditions is very limited, so a pilot randomized clinical trial was conducted to assess the impact of one OMT session on patients diagnosed with suspected ocular hypertension or glaucoma.

This pilot project investigated the mechanism of a previously undescribed technique of nonoperative carpal tunnel treatment, dorsal carpal arch muscle energy, which focuses on the dorsal arch (trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate bones) manipulating the bones to redome the arch, round the tunnel, and increase its volume.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent inflammatory disease of the paranasal sinuses that may significantly impair quality of life. This study aimed to assess whether OMT focused on lymphatic drainage of cranial structures can provide immediate, as well as sustained, relief of CRS symptoms.

This study aimed to determine if regular osteopathic manipulative treatments could impact the stress levels of first-year osteopathic medical students at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine Harlem campus by measuring physiologic stress through changes in weekly salivary cortisol levels, perceived emotional and psychological stress levels, and cognitive function.

This review article explores the role of OMT as a treatment for dystonia, which is a movement disorder that causes involuntary muscle contractions leading to abnormal movements and postures, such as twisting.

This study describes relationships between exposure to osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) during graduate medical education and the use of OMM in practice.

This case report presents a 33-year-old patient who originally presented to the emergency department as a stroke alert and was later determined to have migraine with aura. The patient experienced an acute onset of headache, dizziness, and new-onset expressive aphasia. Before administration of a migraine cocktail, OMT was performed and was able to fully resolve all of her symptoms.
