Upper Cervical Manipulation for Patients With Stage 1 Hypertension

Palmer College of Chiropractic·interventional·Posted Nov 25, 2009·Updated Feb 7, 2018

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Spinal Manipulation and Sham Spinal Manipulation for Hypertension. Completed, enrolled 51 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The investigators propose a prospective randomized 2 arm parallel observer-blinded phase II clinical study comparing a distinct method of upper cervical chiropractic manipulation to a sham technique in 50 individuals with stage I hypertension (systolic blood pressure (SBP): 140-159 mm Hg; diastolic blood pressure (DBP):90-99 mm Hg).

Interventions

Spinal Manipulationother

The procedure in its broadest definition describes the application of a load (force or displacement) to specific body tissues (usually vertebral joints) with therapeutic intent. The mechanical characteristics of SM can vary in terms of its duration and amplitude, (hence, the rate at which it is applied), as well as its anatomical location, choice of levers, direction of force application, and the vehicle used to apply the force (manually or mechanically assisted).

Sham Spinal Manipulationother

The sham assessment procedures will be the same as those in the high velocity treatment group. The sham intervention is identical to this treatment protocol except for the placement of the treating clinicians pisiform contact. The force and vector applied will be the same.
