Hands-On therapy aimed at asthma inflammation – study pulled before start

NCT ID NCT07071194

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study planned to test whether osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) — a hands-on technique to improve chest movement — could reduce lung inflammation and improve breathing in adults with asthma. Researchers intended to measure inflammation using a nitric oxide breath test and lung function with spirometry. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data were collected.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT)

What this could lead to

If it worked, OMT could offer a drug-free way to ease breathing and reduce lung inflammation for some asthma patients.

What could go wrong

The study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results are available. Even if conducted, benefits would likely be modest and not replace standard asthma medications.
