Summary

Osteopathy is chosen by patients as a treatment for IBS but the evidence for its effectiveness is poor. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of osteopathy for IBS at 1 month follow-up in IBS adults.

Conditions

  • OSTEOPATHY IN THE TREATMENT OF IBS SYMPTOMS IN ADULTS

Interventions

OTHER

the active osteopathic treatment (AOT)

The AOT will first consist of the application of a visceral technique. The patient will lie on their stomach and the osteopath will touch the patient's abdomen with a wide two-handed grip. The action will consist of following the abdominal tissues in directions where tissue mobility is allowed and occurs without restriction, from the surface to the depth of the abdomen. A change in the elasticity of the colon will then be perceived when the mobility restrictions of the tissues are dissipated. The osteopath will then use a technique on the sacrum according toik-g the procedure described by Attali et al. \[8\] which consists in mobilizing the sacrum between the iliac bones.

OTHER

the sham osteopathic treatment

For SOT, the patient will lie on their stomach and the osteopath will use a wide two-handed grip on the patient's abdomen to deliberately mobilize it in an imprecise manner. Next, a technique with no apparent therapeutic effects, the light touch, first described by Licciardone et al. \[13\] and proposed by others to perform simulated bone manipulations \[14\], will be applied to the sacrum
