Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is a hands-on therapy that aims to promote homeostasis by individuating and treating somatic dysfunctions (SDs), including alterations in muscular tissue. Presently, patients affected by neurological disorders (e.g., Parkinson's disease [PD], multiple sclerosis [MS], and mild traumatic brain injury) often present to the osteopaths for treatment of motor symptoms, fatigue, stiffness, and chronic pain. OMT could be a safe adjunct treatment to promote physical wellness in such patients. However, there are many unanswered questions about its efficacy, especially regarding patients with neurological diseases. In this commentary, the authors encourage and promote the implementation of OMT as a complementary therapy in the neurorehabilitation field.
整骨手法治疗（OMT）是一种手法治疗，旨在通过识别和治疗躯体功能障碍（SDs）来促进体内平衡，包括肌肉组织的改变。目前，患有神经系统疾病（如帕金森病[PD]、多发性硬化症[MS]和轻度创伤性脑损伤）的患者经常前往整骨医生处治疗运动症状、疲劳、僵硬和慢性疼痛。OMT可能是促进此类患者身体健康的一种安全辅助治疗方法。然而，关于其疗效仍有许多未解答的问题，尤其是对于患有神经系统疾病的患者。在这篇评论中，作者鼓励并推动将OMT作为神经康复领域的一种补充疗法来实施。
