Ultrasonography Clinical Trial
Official title:
Ultrasound Evaluation of Changes in Diaphragmatic Motion and Contractility Induced by Osteopathic Manipulative Techniques: a Prospective, Randomized, Double Blinded, Case vs Sham vs Control Clinical Trial.
A wide number of osteopathic techniques focusing on diaphragm have been proposed but,
although systematically and efficiently used, there is a general lack of evidences able to
clarify how and to which extent osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) on diaphragm is
effective and determines a modification in muscles contractility and motion as well as an
objective determination of the benefit on the patients receiving treatment.
This study therefore aims at investigating whether, and how, a single session of selected
osteopathic diaphragmatic techniques are able to affect muscle motility and thickness,
assessed by ultrasounds, in a sample of healthy subjects and to compare results versus a
group receiving a sham therapy and another one of non-treated subjects.
