First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how osteopathic manual therapy (OMT) changes the brain in people with migraines, tension, or cluster headaches. Researchers used MRI scans to see if OMT affects brain structure and activity. The goal was to understand how OMT reduces pain and disability, not to test a new treatment. 31 adults with frequent headaches took part.
