Q

What are some of the challenges to researching OMM?

A

1) Objective findings that can only be appreciated by subjective experience
2) variability in the skills of those applying OMM
3) Resources. required to administer OMT to enough patients to achieve a well powered study
4) Randomized controlled trials work well for studying small number of known variables that are easily measured

Q

What was found in study of the effect of OMT on middle ear effusion following AOM in young children?

A

Standardized OMT protocol administered adjunctively with standard care for patients with AOM may result in faster resolution of MEE following AOM than standard treatment alone.

Q

What was found in the study of the osteopathic approach to chronic sinusitis?

A

After OMT, utilizing direct pressure and sinus drainage technique, the overall sinus pain/congestion for all patients improved. All 15 patients reported feeling more relaxed after OMT.

Q

What was found in the study of lumbar spinous processes using multiple bony landmarks in order to measure inter-examiner reliability?

A

Identification of lumbar spinous processes using multiple landmarks was more accurate than previously reported values. However, accuracy was dependent on examiner experience, presence of anatomical anomalies, and participant characteristics.

Q

What was found in the analysis of hospital LOS, ventilator-dependent respiratory failure rate, and in-hospital mortality rate in regards to OMM used on elderly pneumonia patients?

A

Adjunctive OMT for pneumonia reduced LOS in adults aged 50-74 and lowered in-hospital mortality rates in adults aged 75 and older.

Q

What was found in the study of using OMT in patients who develop post-operative ileus (2008)?

A

Retrospective chart review; prospective trial with more thorough economic cost-benefit analysis would be worthy of consideration

17
Q

What was found in the study of the effect of OMT on incidence of post-operative ileus and hospital LOS in general surgical patients (2013)?

A

OMT applied after a major GI operation is associated with decreased time to flatus and decreased post-operative hospital LOS.
