Abstract

 The study design was case studies utilizing retrospective controls. The objective was to compare the effectiveness of the osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) approach as an adjunct to the medical approach in reducing subsequent self-reported pain scores of patients with various musculoskeletal complaints.
 
 141 patients were studied across 363 patient visits. The average number of visits by the medicine approach was 47.56 (+6) which reduced pain scale scores from a mean of 75.01 (+1) to a mean of 48.24 (+2). This compared to an average of 2.56 (+0.1) visits to reduce pain scale scores from a mean of 38.27 (+1) to a mean of 11 (+1) by the OMM approach.
 
 OMM appears to be effective in reducing musculoskeletal pain scale scores lower and in fewer visits than the previous medical approach alone in the same patient with the same complaint.
