TITLE: Peripheral Arterial Disease: An Osteopathic Approach
RESEARCH TITLE: Research as to the added effect of osteopathic treatment on the walking distance of patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease. (PAD) A double blind randomised controlled cross over trail.
BACKGROUND: PAD is a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis. Intermittent claudication, the predominant clinical symptom, is characterized by cramping, aching or fatigue in at least 1 of the more distal arteries of the leg. The prevalence of PAD in the general population, is estimated at the age of 55 at 7% and above 85 years at 56%. OBJECTIVE: To determine the influence of an osteopathic treatment on walking distance and walking time. METHOD: A placebo controlled, double blinded crossover clinical trial was set up. All patients gave their consent, and received an osteopathic and placebo intervention. The placebo intervention underwent a tape treatment on several points of the body. The graded activity treadmill test has been used for measurement. RESULTS: This study included 10 patients with PAD 70 ±10 (63-83). There is no significant interaction effect for the intervention treatment compared to the placebo group in walking time, (F (1, 8) = 26,22 sec, ANOVA : p = 0,001) and to the walking distance, (F (1, 8) = 26,75 meter, ANOVA : p = 0,001). DISCUSSION: Inspection shows that both groups had higher average results in seconds following the treatment intervention compared to placebo group which can be considered as a carry-over effect. CONCLUSION:  No significant interaction effect of the intervention treatment compared to the placebo intervention in walking distance and in time has been shown in this study.
 
Keywords: claudication intermittent, PAD, walking distance, walking time, osteopathic treatment.
