Can Osteopathy help with aches and pains from being on the computer too much? A feasibility RCT ( random controlled trial ) on the use of osteopathic treatment for neck-shoulder pain.
Computer use and computer-based tasks are commonplace worldwide for social, recreational, and work-related activities. It is also a common source of pain, more often from poor posture during use. A study in the journal of Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice has outlined a feasibility RCT to assess the effect of osteopathic care on neck-shoulder pain in computer users.The trial consisted of 30 adults who were daily computer users. The feasibility RCT objectives were met, suggested that a larger scale RCT would be feasible in the future. Furthermore, the PPT results suggested that osteopathic treatment increased pain thresholds compared to sham treatments and usual care Рincreasing the evidence supporting the use of osteopathic treatments for musculoskeletal pain.Santiago, R.
