Introduction: the aim of the study was to assess if osteopathic visceral treatment through the intestine viscerosomatic reflex improved pain, disability, quality of life and functionality in patients who were suffering low back pain and gastrointestinal symptoms.
Method: the quasi-experimental study without control group involved 16 patients. All patients were given 3 treatment sessions (3 weeks between each one) where the pelvic and thoracic diaphragm, the Treitz muscle, the duodenal angle and the mesentery root were treated. In each treatment session, they were asked to fill the questionnaires about functionality (PSFS), disability (Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire), pain (VAS) and quality of life (SF-36).
Results: between the previous first treatment and post third treatment results statistically significance were found in pain, disability and physical role part in quality of life questionnaire (p<0.05). There weren’t significant results (p> 0.05) in functionality scores.
Conclusions: Our study suggests that chosen osteopathic visceral treatment could improve pain, disability and physical role in quality of life in 6 weeks, and has not allowed us to demonstrate an improvement in functionality and remaining parts of the quality of life questionnaire. - Abstract

Introducció: l’objectiu de l’estudi fou valorar si el tractament visceral osteopàtic a través del reflex viscerosomàtic de l’intestí millorava el dolor, la qualitat de vida, la funcionalitat i la discapacitat en pacients que patien dolor lumbar i símptomes gastrointestinals.
Mètode: en l’estudi quasiexperimental sense grup control van participar 16 pacients. A tots els pacients se’ls va realitzar 3 sessions de tractament (3 setmanes entre cadascuna) on es van tractar: diafragma pelvià i toràcic, múscul de Treitz, angle duodejejunal i arrel mesentèrica. En cadascuna, se’ls va fer emplenar qüestionaris sobre funcionalitat (PSFS), discapacitat (Roland-Morris Disability Questionaire), dolor (VAS) i qualitat de vida (SF-36).
Resultats: es van trobar resultats estadísticament significatius entre les puntuacions prèvies al primer i posteriors al tercer tractament en el dolor, la discapacitat i el rol físic dins de qüestionari de qualitat de vida (p<0,05). No es van trobar resultats significatius (p>0,05) en les puntuacions de funcionalitat.
Conclusions: el nostre estudi suggereix que el tractament visceral osteopàtic escollit podria millorar el dolor, la discapacitat i el rol físic del qüestionari de qualitat de vida a 6 setmanes, i no ens permet evidenciar una millora de la funcionalitat i de la resta de paràmetres de qualitat de vida. - presented at
