Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment in Individuals With Vertigo and Somatic Dysfunction: A Randomized, Controlled, Comparative Feasibility Study.

Conclusion: A combination of OMT and VRT significantly reduced vertigo and improved balance 3 months after treatment (P<.0.05). There was a high prevalence in vergence and vertical heterophoria, which are not typical screening measurements used by physical therapists and physicians to assess vertigo patients. With a small sample size, this study demonstrated the feasibility of an interdisciplinary team evaluating and treating patients with vertigo in a community setting. A larger study is needed to assess the efficacy of OMT/VRT in vertigo patients. PMID: 33125033 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
