NCT ID NCT06447493
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a modified Spencer's technique, a type of hands-on osteopathic treatment, on 20 healthy adults aged 18-50. Researchers used ultrasound and motion capture to measure changes in shoulder stiffness, blood flow, and mobility right after the treatment. The goal was to see if the technique has measurable physical effects, not to treat any shoulder problem.
