Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment May Benefit Patients.(Brief Article)
2001 OCT 11 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) --
A study indicates that osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) may be a useful adjunctive treatment for alleviating depression in women.
With 5% of the U.S. population defined as clinically depressed and 2% to 3% of these individuals being hospitalized or seriously afflicted with depression, this disease has become the most prevalent psychiatric disorder. Women are twice as likely to experience depression than men.
Researchers from Midwestern University, College of Osteopathic Medicine in Downers Grove, Illinois, assessed the impact of OMT as an adjunct to standard psychiatric treatment on 17 participants over an eight-week period. Eight of the patients received OMT along with standard treatments while the remaining nine women received conventional treatments only. Participants were given physical examinations and instructed to refrain from taking any medications during the study.
The study results were published in the September 2001 issue of the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association. According to J.J. Rodos, DO, one of the study's coauthors and a professor in the department of psychiatry at Midwestern University, the mental status of each patient was measured using scores generated on the Zung Depression Scale. The Zung scale was administered at the beginning, midpoint, and conclusion of the study.
