Objective: To examine the evidence levels, study characteristics, and outcomes of nonpharmacologic complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) interventions in rehabilitation for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Data Sources: MEDLINE (OvidSP), PubMed (NLM), EMBASE (Embase.com), CINAHL (EBSCO), PsycINFO (OvidSP), Cochrane Library (Wiley), and National Guidelines Clearinghouse databases were evaluated using PRISMA guidelines. The protocol was registered in INPLASY (protocol registration: INPLASY202160071). Data Extraction: Quantitative studies published between 1992 and 2020 investigating the efficacy of CIM for individuals with TBI of any severity, age, and outcome were included. Special diets, herbal and dietary supplements, and counseling/psychological interventions were excluded, as were studies with mixed samples if TBI data could not be extracted. A 2-level review comprised title/abstract screening, followed by full-text assessment by 2 independent reviewers. Data Synthesis: In total, 90 studies were included, with 57 001 patients in total. This total includes 2 retrospective studies with 17 475 and 37 045 patients. Of the 90 studies, 18 (20%) were randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The remainder included 20 quasi-experimental studies (2-group or 1-group

“…Further OMT techniques such as sinus drainage, occipito-atlantal (OA) junction release, and compression of the fourth ventricle (CV4) may be used as a potential adjunctive therapy to reduce inflammation in the brain. Such techniques increase lymphatic drainage and normalize cerebrospinal fluid production and flow [ 8 , 50 ].…”

As a "signature injury" of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a major health concern among military service members. Traumatic brain injury is associated with a wide range of symptoms which may be cognitive, emotional, psychological, biochemical, and social in nature. Mild TBI (mTBI) ranks as the most common traumatic brain injury among veterans. Due to the absence of specific symptoms, mTBI diagnosis may be challenging in acute settings. Repetitive traumatic brain injury during combat deployments can lead to devastating chronic neurodegenerative diseases and other major life disruptions. Many cases of TBI remain undetected in veterans and may lead to long-term adverse comorbidities such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), suicide, alcohol disorders, psychiatric diagnoses, and service-related somatic dysfunctions. Veterans with TBI are almost twice as likely to die from suicide in comparison to veterans without a history of TBI. Veterans diagnosed with TBI experience significant comorbid conditions and thus advocacy for improved care is justified and necessary. Given the complexity and variation in the symptomatology of TBI, a personalized, multimodal approach is warranted in the evaluation and treatment of veterans with TBI and other associated conditions. As such, this review provides a broad overview of treatment options, with an emphasis on advocacy and osteopathic integration in the standard of care for veterans.

“…Research is needed to better understand the effects of these techniques on patient outcomes.Major depressive disorder and attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder have been associated with increased brain inflammation [19][20][21]. It is also postulated that several OMT modalities, including balanced membranous tension, have anti-inflammatory effects on the brain by improving lymphatic flow and decreasing the number of inflammatory cells and cytokines that induce these pathologic changes [21][22][23]. Thus, we theorize that our patient's mood and concentration improvements were likely related to the specific OMT techniques we performed on him during his office visit.…”

A 21-year-old man with atypical coccydynia that radiated bilaterally to his thigh and lower back came for treatment 10 years after coccyx trauma. Pertinent review of systems showed unintentional weight loss of 20 lb over the past 1 to 3 years, a body mass index of 14.94, significant depression, and poor concentration. In addition to treating his pain, we addressed the weight loss and depression that he was experiencing by advising a balanced diet, discovering the origins of what the patient believed caused his depression, and using osteopathic manipulative treatment. The patient was treated with osteopathic manipulative treatment to alleviate somatic dysfunctions diagnosed in the head, cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions. At follow-up visits, the patient described a reduction in his pain symptoms from an initial 5 out of 10 to 3 out of 10 on his third visit. This case report outlines the importance of using a holistic approach when treating patients and advocates for using osteopathic manipulative treatment as a viable treatment option for patients with coccydynia.
