Abstract:

Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of osteopathic treatment on postpuncture complaints and how the treatment can possibly shorten their self-limitation period. Due to time constraints it was not possible to include more than 21 patients in the study, which means that no claim of statistic significance could be made also due to the fact that the patients’ statements concerning the intensity of the perceived pain were very varied. However, a clear trend in the two groups could be observed. Within five days a relative mean reduction of the headaches intensity by 56% could be observed in the TG, while in the CG the pain’s intensity was reduced by 29%. In the TG the relative mean change in the time until the onset of the headaches after adopting an upright position was 13% higher than in the CG. The intensity of the relative mean nausea in the TG on the fifth day ranged 64% below the initial value, in the CG it increased by 5% with regard to the first day. These clear trends illustrate that an osteopathic treatment of patients with postpuncture complaints makes sense.
