Chronic inflammatory diseases (CIDs) are debilitating and potentially lethal illnesses that affect a large proportion of the global population. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is a manual therapy technique developed and performed by osteopathic physicians that facilitates the body's innate healing processes. Therefore, OMT may prove a beneficial anti-inflammatory modality useful in the management and treatment of CIDs. This work aims to objectively evaluate the therapeutic benefits of OMT in patients with various CIDs. In this review, a structured literature search was performed. The included studies involving asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, irritable bowel syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, and peripheral arterial disease were selected for this work. Various OMT modalities, including lymphatic, still, counterstain, and muscle energy techniques, were utilized. Control treatments included sham techniques, routine care, or no treatment. OMT utilization led to variable patient outcomes in individuals with pathologies linked to CID.

慢性炎症性疾病的整骨手法治疗

慢性炎症性疾病 (CID) 是一种使人衰弱且可能致命的疾病，影响着全球很大一部分人口。整骨手法治疗 (OMT) 是一种由整骨医生开发和实施的手法治疗技术，可促进身体的先天愈合过程。因此，OMT 可能被证明是一种有益的抗炎方式，可用于 CID 的管理和治疗。这项工作旨在客观评估 OMT 对各种 CID 患者的治疗益处。在这篇综述中，进行了结构化文献检索。这项工作选择了涉及哮喘、慢性阻塞性肺病、肠易激综合征、强直性脊柱炎和外周动脉疾病的研究。使用了各种 OMT 模式，包括淋巴、静止、复染和肌肉能量技术。对照治疗包括假手术、常规护理或不治疗。 OMT 的使用导致患有与 CID 相关病理的个体的患者结果发生变化。
