“…Among the 10 studies, five of these were set in clinics or health centers [ 21 – 25 ], three in public hospitals [ 26 – 28 ], one in the lab [ 29 ] and the rest in outpatient offices [ 30 ]. Five were based in USA [ 21 – 23 , 29 , 30 ], two in Italy [ 24 , 27 ], two in France [ 25 , 28 ] and one in the Netherlands [ 26 ].…”

BackgroundChronic inflammatory diseases (CID) are globally highly prevalent and characterized by severe pathological medical conditions. Several trials were conducted aiming at measuring the effects of manipulative therapies on patients affected by CID. The purpose of this review was to explore the extent to which osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) can be benefi-cial in medical conditions also classified as CID.MethodsThis review included any type of experimental study which enrolled sub-jects with CID comparing OMT with any type of control procedure. The search was conducted on eight databases in January 2014 using a pragmatic literature search approach. Two independent re-viewers conducted study selection and data extraction for each study. The risk of bias was evaluated according to the Cochrane methods. Heterogeneity was assessed and meta-analysis performed where possible.Results10 studies met the inclusion criteria for this review enrolling 386 subjects. The search identified six RCTs, one laboratory study, one cross-over pilot studies, one observation-al study and one case control pilot study. Results suggest a potential effect of osteopathic medicine on patients with medical pathologies associated with CID (in particular Chronic Obstructive Pul-monary Disease (COPD), Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Asthma and Peripheral Arterial Disease) com-pared to no treatment or sham therapy although data remain elusive. Moreover one study showed possible effects on arthritis rat model. Meta-analysis was performed for COPD studies only show-ing no effect of any type of OMT applied versus control. No major side effects were reported by those receiving OMT.ConclusionThe present systematic review showed inconsistent data on the effect of OMT in the treatment of medical conditions potentially associated with CID, however the OMT appears to be a safe approach. Further more robust trials are needed to determine the direction and magnitude of the effect of OMT and to generalize favorable results.

“…This study (Lombardini et al, 2009), conducted at the University of Perugia, evaluated and compared endothelial function and lifestyle modifications in 15 intermittent claudication patients who received both medical and osteopathic treatment (OMT group) and 15 intermittent claudication patients, matched for age, sex and medical treatment e the control group e who received standard medical attention. Compared to the control group, the OMT group had a significant increase in brachial flow-mediated vasodilation, ankle/brachial pressure index, treadmill testing, and physical health component of life quality (all p < 0.05), assessed at 2 months and 3 months from the start of the study.…”

“…A base teórica para a ação da osteopatia tratamento manipulativo e seu efeito no corpo foi avançada com base na ativação autonômica, causando vasodilatação concomitante do músculo liso relaxamento e aumento do fluxo sanguíneo, resultando em melhor amplitude articular, diminuição da percepção da dor, e / ou alteração no tecido (HENLEY et al, 2008;LOMBARDINI et al, 2009).…”

As técnicas de terapia manual são consideradas como um método sistemático de avaliação e tratamento das disfunções do sistema neuromusculoesquelético, e estas têm como finalidade principal recuperar o movimento fisiológico em áreas onde existe restrição ou disfunção melhorando a função dos sistemas adjacentes. Contudo, na literatura são escassos os estudos sobre a utilização e eficácia destas técnicas, seja manipulativa ou de mobilização, na função respiratória, principalmente como uma forma preventiva de tratamento. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as alterações nas funções pulmonares e na expansibilidade torácica em indivíduos normais submetidos às técnicas osteopáticas. Este estudo foi caracterizado como quase experimental. Fizeram parte da amostra 30 voluntárias, com idade de 18 à 28 anos, sem patologias pulmonares conhecidas associadas. A avaliação da função pulmonar e expansibilidade torácica foram por meio da espirometria e cirtometria respectivamente. A amostra recebeu procedimento de intervenção sendo avaliada em dois momentos, antes e após a aplicação de uma manobra osteopática de manipulação (thrust) em coluna torácica e técnica de músculo energia para peitorais. Os resultados indicam que o protocolo foi capaz de aumentar a mobilidade torácica em todos os parâmetros avaliados, e na função pulmonar houve melhora estatisticamente significativa no pico de fluxo expiratório.
