Video Summary
A presentation discussed perceptions of osteopathic medicine in a rural clinic in Iquitos, Peru. Due to economic challenges and remoteness, many patients struggle to access treatments, leading to interest in osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) as a potential solution. A study surveyed 51 patients on their knowledge and experience of OMT. The majority had not heard of OMT but reported favorable opinions after receiving it. Results showed significant pain reduction in patients who received OMT. Limitations included incorrect survey completion and health literacy differences. Future plans involve increased education and comprehensive data collection on patient complaints.
