The Effects of Osteopathic Treatment on Balance and Dizziness of the Vestibular Disturbed Active Post Concussed Individual.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Osteopathic treatment for Post Concussion Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 6 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The proposed study is a randomized clinical trial with the purpose of determining the efficacy of osteopathic treatment on vestibular symptoms of the post concussed vestibular disturbed athlete as determined by the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS). Of secondary interest, this study will evaluate the osteopathic assessment findings of this population and side effects, positive and negative, associated with the osteopathic treatment provided. Primary Hypothesis 1. Osteopathic treatment will have no effect on the symptoms of dizziness of the vestibular disturbed post concussed athlete using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory 2. Osteopathic treatment will have no effect on the balance recovery of the vestibular disturbed post concussed athlete using Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) Secondary Hypothesis 3. To determine the side effects of osteopathic treatment of the vestibular disturbed post concussed athlete
