Video Summary

This study investigates the effects of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) on chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) symptoms. Conducted by Maria Rowane and colleagues, the study focused on assessing if OMT could provide immediate and sustained relief. Involving 43 participants divided into OMT and control groups, the study found that OMT led to a significant immediate reduction in CRS symptoms like sinus pain, but the effect was not sustained 10 days later. While suggesting immediate benefits of OMT, the study calls for further research on its long-term effectiveness. OMT is considered a safe, non-pharmacologic complementary therapy.
