摘要: The present randomised placebo controlled trial explored the extent to which osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) affects brain activity, particularly insula, during both an "interoceptive awareness" and "exteroceptive task in a sample of 32 right-handed adults with chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) randomly assigned either OMT or sham group. Patients received 4 weekly sessions fMRI was performed at enrolment (T0), immediately after first session (T1) 1 month (T2). results revealed that produced distinct specific reduction BOLD response areas related interoception, i.e., bilateral ACC, left striatum rMFG. observed trend across three time points appears uncharacteristic. At T1, marginal increase all above-mentioned except rMFG, showed decrease response. T2, opposite: interoception (bilateral insula ACC) as well rMFG demonstrated significant decreased findings this study provide insight into effects manual therapies on activity have implications for future research field.
