View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) changes levels of immune markers in healthy volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does OMT change numbers of white blood cells or antibodies? Does OMT change levels of cytokines? Researchers will compare volunteers treated with OMT to volunteers undergoing sham treatment to see if OMT changes levels of immune markers. Participants will: * complete a survey about their medical history to determine if they are healthy enough for OMT * have blood drawn * undergo either sham treatment or OMT * have blood drawn 30 minutes after treatment
