Official title
Will the Use of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatments on Patients With Headache in the Emergency Department Result in Decreased Pain on 100 Point Pain Scale?
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
PURPOSE The purpose of this research is to determine whether osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) is a useful adjunct in evaluation and treatment of headaches. PROCEDURES If a practitioner determines that a patient has a significant headache he/she may order tests. He/ She may give the patient medications to treat the headache. The investigators will also ask permission to evaluate and treat the headache using osteopathic evaluation and Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT). The bedside evaluation and treatment will be performed by an emergency medicine resident. Osteopathic evaluation and OMT is not standard of care for this condition. The investigators also may call the patient in 7 days to see how they are doing. The investigators wish to see if emergency medicine physicians can use osteopathic evaluation and OMT to reliably treat headaches. The results of the examination and treatment will be recorded, but will not be used to change treatment or to change additional tests. The investigators wish to see whether in the future they can use OMT in certain cases instead of or in conjunction with medications. The investigators plan on asking 50 patients to participate.
