Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine & Kinetics

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Clinical Trial Summary

Back pain affects the majority of the population at some time. Currently there are no published and scientifically accepted objective measures to support manual medicine diagnostic and treatment techniques for back pain. The purpose of this project is to collect and evaluate objective (pressure and motion) data from standard clinical diagnostic tests.
