Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment Efficacy in Postoperative Pain

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2013
Effectively controlling sternal pain during cardiac rehabilitation after heart surgery is very important as it reduces the risk of postoperative complications. However, the contraindications and side effects of analgesic drugs may induce physicians to use them so cautiously that pain may actually be under-treated. The aim of this open label, controlled study is to assess whether osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) can contribute to pain relief and improve rehabilitation outcomes.
