Abstract:

Clinical research studies of osteopathic practice have been advocated to examine the role of manipulation in health care. Few studies have been conducted in a private practice setting. The reasons cited are the paucity of trained personal, the time involved, the difficulty in establishing an acceptable diagnosis, and the problem in obtaining an adequate number of related cases. The following study was conducted to determine the feasibility of conducting a clinical research project in a private practice. Sixty-one case histories of sciatic neuritis were selected from my patient files covering a period of 10 years.
