Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic progressive debilitating disease of oral cavity leading to the stiffness of oral mucosa, burning and trismus resulting in marked rigidity, and an inability to open the mouth. As the medical treatment of OSMF is yet not standardized, the purpose of the present case study was to explore the effectiveness of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in patients with OSMF. A 30-year-old male presented with a complaint of reduced mouth opening with burning sensation while eating spicy food for 4 years. The patient had undergone pharmacological treatment for the same in the past, got relief in the burning sensation, but did not get any significant improvement in mouth opening. Radiological features were noncontributory. The patient was treated with OMT techniques for twice a week for 4 weeks followed by the home exercise program. The patient showed a significant increase in mouth opening from approximately 10 mm to 22 mm of mouth opening at the end of the treatment sessions.
口腔黏膜下纤维化（OSMF）是一种口腔慢性进行性致残疾病，可导致口腔黏膜僵硬、灼痛和牙关紧闭，进而导致明显的张口受限和无法开口。由于OSMF的医学治疗尚未标准化，本病例研究的目的是探讨整骨手法治疗（OMT）对OSMF患者的有效性。一名30岁男性患者主诉，在食用辛辣食物时有张口受限和灼痛的症状，持续4年。该患者过去曾接受过针对此症状的药物治疗，灼痛症状有所缓解，但张口度没有得到明显改善。影像学检查未发现异常。患者接受了每周两次、为期4周的OMT治疗，随后进行家庭锻炼计划。在治疗结束时，患者的张口度从大约10毫米显著增加到22毫米。
