Gentle touch for a smoother birth? study tests pregnancy treatment

NCT ID NCT06570395

Summary

This study looked at whether a hands-on therapy called Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) during the last three months of pregnancy could make labor and delivery easier. It aimed to see if OMT could shorten labor time, reduce the need for pain medication, and lower the chance of complications like C-sections or tears. The study was small and ended early, so its goal was to gather more information about this potential option for pregnant people.
