- Results of a feasibility randomised controlled trial of osteopathy on neck-shoulder pain in computer usersPublication . Santiago, Rui José; Esteves, Jorge Eduardo; Baptista, João Santos; Magalhães, André; Costa, José TorresComputer use is a well-known source of chronic pain, leading to absenteeism and reduced productivity and well-being. This study evaluated the feasibility of conducting a full-scale randomised controlled trial. Several methodological variables defined trial feasibility. Of 77 participants interested, 30 were included and randomised into three groups of ten. All participants concluded the study, and all the data was analysed. The feasibility outcomes were deemed appropriate. No adverse events or severe side effects were reported or identified. Studying the efficacy of osteopathic consultation on computer users by conducting an RCT is feasible and safe. With adjustments, a full-scale study can be designed.
