In this pilot study, we examined the efficacy of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) for improving symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression (SAD) to determine a correlation between overall improvement in health and quality of life for first responders. Participants received weekly OMT or sham OMT targeting autonomic imbalance. Indicators of SAD were examined pre- and post-study. Overall, this pilot study suggests improvement in both the social-psychological (mental) self-assessments, and alterations in SAD-associated biomarkers from OMT.
在这项初步研究中,我们研究了整脊疗法(OMT)改善压力、焦虑和抑郁(SAD)症状的功效,以确定急救人员整体健康和生活质量改善之间的相关性。参与者每周接受针对自主失衡的 OMT 或假 OMT。在研究前后检查了 SAD 的指标。总体而言,这项初步研究表明,OMT 可改善社会心理(心理)自我评估,以及与 SAD 相关的生物标志物的变化。
