Title: Neck pain with mobility deficits, the added value of visceral osteopathic techniques
Abstract: RESEARCH TITLE: Research of the effect of a set of visceral osteopathic techniques on the mobility of the cervical spine on patients with neck pain and mobility deficits: a randomized controlled study. BACKGROUND: Research on the osteopathic approach on neck pain is mainly focused on manipulation techniques. Investigation on the visceral relation to neck pain is needed in a clinical setting. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the short term effects of a set of visceral osteopathic techniques on the mobility of the cervical spine. METHOD: The subjects were randomly divided into a treatment or a control group. Both groups were measured at baseline with the CROM inclinometer on rotation and side bending of the cervical spine. The treatment group was treated two times within a time frame of 14 days. Measurements were performed at baseline and after second treatment. The control group was measured two times within a timeframe of 14 days. The treatment consisted of a set of osteopathic mobilizing techniques of the viscera and peritoneum. Four participants dropped out of the study RESULTS: The population (N=38) consisted of an intervention group (N=21) and a control group (N=17). Shapiro – Wilk’s test showed no significant preliminary difference between the CG and TG at intake for age (P=0,210) or sex (P=0,264). The intervention group showed a significant increase in mobility in all directions (Dependant t-test: RotL P=
