Introduction: in Catalonia there is 31% of the population suffering from chronic pain. The cranial osteopathy acting on the cerebrospinal fluid (LCR) allows us to produce changes in the nociceptive stimulus, which favor the normalization of the homeostatic system that will help us to palliate the pain.Objectives: to analyze the effect of the technique on the fourth ventricle (CV4) and if it produced an improvement in the quality of life and a decrease in pain.
Material and methods: a pilot study was performed on simple blind and blind to thirds with cranial technique on the fourth ventricle or simulated technique. The study variables were sex, age, change in the SF-36 test and changes in EVA. The treatment was 4 sessions during 8 weeks. The sample consisted of 8 patients, 4 for the control group and 4 for the experimental group.
Results: in the experimental group a change of EVA equal to or greater than 2 points between the first and the last session in 100% of the cases was observed. While at SF-36 test, we can see significant improvement in the pain, health, vitality and social relationships graphs.
Conclusions: CV4 has a significant improvement in the EVA questionnaire. However, the sample size was not significant to obtain objective results - Abstract

Introducció: a Catalunya hi ha un 31% de la població que pateix dolor crònic. L’osteopatia cranial, actuant sobre el líquid cefaloraquidi (LCR), ens permet produir canvis en l'estímul nociceptiu, els quals afavoreixen a la normalització del sistema homeostàtic que ens ajudarà a pal·liar el dolor.
Objectius: analitzar l’efecte de la tècnica sobre el quart ventricle (CV4) i valorar si produeix una millora de la qualitat de vida i una disminució del dolor.
Material i mètode: es va realitzar un estudi pilot a simple cec i cec a tercers amb tècnica cranial sobre el quart ventricle o tècnica simulada. Les variables d’estudi van ser sexe, edat, canvi en el test SF-36 i canvis en l’EVA. El tractament va ser de 4 sessions durant 8 setmanes, amb una mostra de 8 pacients, 4 per a grup control i 4 per al grup experimental.
Resultats: el canvi en el test EVA va haver-hi milloria en el grup experimental. Pel que fa als canvis en el test SF-36 podem veure milloria significativa en les gràfiques de dolor, salut, vitalitat i relacions socials.
Conclusions: la CV4 té una millora significativa en el qüestionari EVA. Tot i que la mostra de l’estudi no va ser representativa. - presented at
