Clinical Trial Summary

This is a pilot study in which the objective is to determine the feasibility of a randomized clinical trial investigating the safety and efficacy of OMT as an adjunctive treatment for patients with mild to moderate asthma compared to the same patient population without the use of OMT. OMT may be able to correct anatomical dysfunctions that contribute to increased symptoms in asthmatic patients. OMT's effect on asthma will be demonstrated by symptomatology reporting, frequency of medication use, and pulmonary function tests.


Clinical Trial Description

Asthma is a leading cause of activity limitation and healthcare burden in the United States of America. The asthmatic population is in need of treatments that target reducing asthma symptoms, reduce the need for medication, and improve lung functionality. As of today, there are not many studies investigating the efficacy and safety of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) on asthmatic patients. This is a pilot study in which the objective is to determine the feasibility of a randomized clinical trial investigating the safety and efficacy of OMT as an adjunctive treatment for patients with mild to moderate asthma compared to the same patient population without the use of OMT. Subjects will be randomized into either a control group or an intervention group where OMT will be used in conjunction with standard asthmatic treatment. Subjective and objective measurements will be taken including the Asthma Control Test (ACT) questionnaire, peak flow, spirometry, pulse oximetry, and chest/diaphragmatic excursion measurements. Measurements will be compared from baseline, before the first treatment and at the follow-up visit after the final treatment. ;
