Osteopathic technique's effect on nervous system activity
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether an osteopathic technique can affect your autonomic nervous system, which controls things like heart rate and digestion. It's for healthy adults aged 20 to 60 who are not currently in physical therapy or osteopathy.

This trial tests whether a hands-on osteopathic therapy can help reduce stress and anxiety by improving heart function. It's designed for young adults who have been feeling stressed or anxious recently.
This study uses MRI imaging to see whether hands-on osteopathic treatment can change how fluid flows around the brain and spinal cord in healthy adults. Researchers want to understand if this treatment might help people in the future.
This trial tests a low-intensity ultrasound approach while measuring how your nervous system and body respond automatically (like changes in heart rate or stress signals). It may help researchers learn how to stimulate or monitor these responses safely, using imaging and standard monitoring.
This study tests whether gentle osteopathic (hands-on) manipulations can improve heart rate variability (a measure of heart health) in people with stage 4 lung cancer who are starting chemotherapy for the first time. It aims to see if these safe, non-invasive techniques can help your body handle treatment better.
This trial tests a safe, noninvasive way to stimulate a nerve in your ear (the vagus nerve) to see how it affects your heart and blood vessels. Eligible volunteers must be healthy adults between 18 and 45, not taking heart or mood medications.
