Brief Summary

Rachialgia are among the most common reasons for consultation with the general practitioner in Europe. Most of the guidelines recommend spinal manipulation. This study attempts to propose a solution with 2 parts: tests of induced pain that have a greater sensitivity than palpatory tests of movements and a comprehensive musculoskeletal treatment protocol. The objective of this bicentric study is to reevaluate the effectiveness of the two-session osteopathic protocol (PO2S), this time by another osteopath, as part of a multicenter validation program.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change from baseline of pain level after 2 sessions

  Pain level will be collected using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (from 0 to 10, where 10 means maximal intensity) before the first session of each protocol and one week after the second session (14 days).

  Baseline and 2 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Percentage of pain improvement since previous visit

  Week 1 and week 2

• Patient satisfaction

  Week 2

Study Arms (2)

PO2S - Control

EXPERIMENTAL

This arm will start with PO2S, followed by Control. The PO2S consists of two sessions of 30 minutes each, one week apart, composed of normalizations of joint, muscular, ligament and visceral dysfunctions . Control is a treatment in 2 sessions that is like PO2S but is not an active osteopathic treatment. A light touch will be made for fictitious normalizations.

Other: Osteopathic Protocol in 2 Sessions (PO2S)

Control - PO2S

EXPERIMENTAL

This arm will start with Control, followed by the PO2S. PO2S consists of two sessions of 30 minutes each, one week apart, composed of normalizations of joint, muscular, ligament and visceral dysfunctions . Control is a treatment in 2 sessions that is like PO2S but is not an active osteopathic treatment. A light touch will be made for fictitious normalizations.

Other: Osteopathic Protocol in 2 Sessions (PO2S)

Interventions

Osteopathic Protocol in 2 Sessions (PO2S) OTHER

PO2S works on the principle that there is a concordance between the author's Preferential Torsion Pattern (PTP) and the rotatory direction of osteopathic dysfunctions. The PO2S consists of two sessions of 30 minutes each, one week apart. A 13-item clinical examination is performed at the first session. It focuses on caused pain tests, and classifies patients in left or right PTP. During the first session 14 normalizations of joint, muscular, ligament and visceral dysfunctions are performed systematically. During the second session 10 normalizations of joint, muscular, ligament and visceral dysfunctions are performed . PO2S is an innovative osteopathic protocol for back pain.

Control - PO2S; PO2S - Control
