Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Osteopathic consultation
It consists of 1 session. Each osteopathic session is based on a structural evaluation and treatment tailored to the participant-specific complains
Osteopathic Consultation
A consultation including case history taking, physical assessment, osteopathic manual treatment, exercise prescription, and postural advice.
Osteopathic sham consultation
Osteopathic Sham treatment was applied using manual contact on specific bony surfaces using very light pressure. The practitioner was counting the seconds up to 1 minute between the areas where to apply the light touch without any intention to treat or diagnose.
Sham Osteopathic Consultation
A sham treatment using light touch on bony structures, no diagnosis, advise or prescriptions
Usual Care
Participants will be on a waiting list, and meanwhile, they are advised to deal with their pain in the way they would, but without using any sort of Manual Therapy.
No interventions assigned to this group
