Video Summary

Dr. Lee's study investigates the use of OMT cervical techniques to improve sleep quality among first-year medical students experiencing high stress and poor sleep. Conducted with 41 participants, the trial involved OMT sessions over six weeks, comparing treatment and control groups. Results showed a trend toward improved sleep quality, particularly in students with a BMI less than 25, although statistical significance was not achieved. The findings suggest potential benefits of OMT in modulating autonomic function and encouraging further research with larger samples and longer durations. Addressing issues like obesity and obstructive sleep apnea could enhance outcomes.
