Visceral Osteopathy in Functional Constipation

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

It is a functional bowel disease characterized by excessive straining during defecation, infrequent defecation, and the feeling of incomplete evacuation. There are very few studies investigating the incidence and prevalence of functional constipation.Non-pharmacological treatment methods, including lifestyle changes, are primarily recommended for the treatment of constipation. The aim of the study is to examine the effects of visceral osteopathic approaches on individuals diagnosed with functional constipation and compare them with conventional methods.

Clinical Trial Description

Non-pharmacological treatment methods, including lifestyle changes, are primarily recommended for the treatment of constipation. In cases where success is not achieved with this method, pharmacological agents, biofeedback and surgical treatment methods can be applied depending on the severity of constipation. Lifestyle changes include increasing fiber and fluid intake and regular physical activity Osteopathic manual therapy (OMT) is the examination and treatment of the function of the neuromusculoskeletal system anatomy using non-invasive, generally safe manual techniques to improve functional body mechanics such as joint range of motion, muscle tone, circulation, body fluid pressures and exchanges, and nerve impulses. OMT is used for autonomic system regulation, balancing pelvic muscle tone, increasing gastrointestinal motility, preventing myofascial limitations and increasing the pump effect of the diaphragm (5,6). The positive effects of OMT on the microbiome are available in the literature. Alternative treatments are needed because the costs of combating constipation are high. Non-invasive interventions are especially gaining importance. ;
