A recent study conducted by Liberty University examined the landscape of patient harm after osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), a popular complementary physical health approach for neuromusculoskeletal disorders in the United States. The study aimed to define the frequency, severity, and temporal evolution of adverse events (AEs) following OMT. The researchers reviewed 118 primary clinical research studies and selected 13 studies for modeling. The majority of AEs observed in the literature were mild, and the benchmark incidence rate of AEs per 100 post-OMT interval-days was 1.0. The study provides a model for identifying and grading post-OMT AEs, which can contribute to improving patient safety standards in osteopathic manipulative medicine. [Extracted from the article] |
