About this study

Official title: Soft Ostheopathic Techniques Improve the Quality of Life in Patients With Crohn's Disease. A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease with a high prevalence. Its etiology is unknown and is considered a multifactorial disease. It is known that the existence of a genetic factor, industrialization and development of the country and environmental factors have great influence on the appearance of intestinal pathology (the Val; Buderus; Molodecky). CD is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease localized throughout the course of the digestive tract (oral-anal). The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a treatment program combining technical nonmanipulative appropriate in affected patients (CD) to increase the overall quality of life and related EC, lower abdominal pain direct and indirect osteopathic soft, observe the sense of change after treatment, and psychological aspects.

Read the detailed description

All of the participants were recruited, in a non-probabilistic way, from the Valencian Association of Enfermos de Crohn y Colitis Ulcerosa (ACCU) The participants were allocated to two different groups depending on their possibility of participation in the therapeutic sessions. The group that received the therapy was called experimental group (EG) and the group, who did not, control group (CG). The participants were allocated independently of their disease status (outbreak or remission).

An experimental study carried out during a period of four weeks in order to explore the effect of the specific treatment on the following outcomes: global quality of life, quality of life in CD and pain.

The participants, in the EG were treated in three sessions, that lasted 45 minutes, during the study duration (1 session each 9-10 days). The physiotherapist who applied the treatment had an extensive experience in manual therapy.

Both groups come to laboratory two times for the assessment, one at the beginning of the study and the other one at the end. In each session several questionnaires were administered by a physiotherapist who was blinded to the group assignment.
