No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective is to evaluate the efficacy of osteopathic treatment as an adjunct to standard medical treatment in reducing child functional abdominal pain.

A convenience sample that includes no more than 30 patients per study group (n = 60) are being recruited. As an exploratory study the investigators did not proceed to make any sample size calculation.

This is a comparative study of two quasi-experimental interventions (standard treatment vs. standard treatment + Osteopathy).

This will be a single-blind trial where only the evaluator will be blinded. The principal outcome will be pain measured by a visual analog scale. A version with more appropriate pictograms for pediatric patients is used. Measurements will be taken at baseline (baseline measurements) at 4, 8 weeks (the duration of interventions) and 6 months post-study.
