Stressbusters: a pilot study investigating the effects of OMT on stress management in medical students
Our study supports the claim that OMT that targets the SNS and PNS has a significant impact on cortisol levels. While the reduction in cortisol levels was statistically significant, the broader physiological impact remains unclear. Further research is necessary to determine whether this reduction translates to meaningful clinical benefits.
