NCT01962883 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 6

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The proposed study is a randomized clinical trial with the purpose of determining the efficacy of osteopathic treatment on vestibular symptoms of the post concussed vestibular disturbed athlete as determined by the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS). Of secondary interest, this study will evaluate the osteopathic assessment findings of this population and side effects, positive and negative, associated with the osteopathic treatment provided.

Primary Hypothesis

1. Osteopathic treatment will have no effect on the symptoms of dizziness of the vestibular disturbed post concussed athlete using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory
2. Osteopathic treatment will have no effect on the balance recovery of the vestibular disturbed post concussed athlete using Balance Error Scoring System (BESS)

Secondary Hypothesis
3. To determine the side effects of osteopathic treatment of the vestibular disturbed post concussed athlete

Conditions

  • Post Concussion Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Osteopathic treatment

The following treatment protocol is an outline only; structures will be treated only if the dysfunction was present during the evaluation. Week 1: Venous Sinuses, diaphragms, major cranial compactions, sphenobasilar symphysis normalization and dural release Week 2 Non-Physiological without respect of axis dysfunction in cranium, spine, pelvis, ankle. Non-physiological with respect of axis dysfunctions in the cranium. Temporal and orbital sutures. Week 3 Non-Physiological with respect of axis dysfunction lesions within the spine, pelvis and ankle. Visceral tissues: kidneys, liver, spleen, heart. Cerebral hemisphere and lateral ventricles. Week 4 Physiological dysfunctions within the cranium, spine, pelvis, and ankle. Myofascial restrictions and muscles of the jaw and eye.
