Journal of Osteopathic Medicine October 2024: Investigating the safety and feasibility of osteopathic manipulative medicine in hospitalized children and adolescent young adults with cancer

OVERVIEW:

Children and adolescent young adults (AYAs) undergoing treatment for oncologic diagnoses are frequently hospitalized and experience unwanted therapyinduced side effects that diminish quality of life. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is a medical intervention that utilizes manual techniques to diagnose and treat body structures. Few studies have investigated the implementation of OMT in the pediatric oncology outpatient setting. To date, no studies have investigated the safety and feasibility of OMT in the pediatric oncology inpatient setting. The objective of this study is to investigate the safety and feasibility of OMT in the pediatric oncology inpatient setting.

Authors: Jennifer A. Belsky, DO, MS; Amber M. Brown, DO, MS

OBJECTIVES:

 Discuss the safety of OMT in the pediatric oncology inpatient setting

 Outline the feasibility of OMT in the pediatric oncology inpatient setting

 Describe the current epidemiology surrounding pediatric oncology and its impact on quality of life
