Summary

This study tested whether adding a gentle hands-on therapy called craniosacral osteopathic treatment to standard care can improve symptoms and quality of life for people with chronic sinusitis. Fifty adults with the condition were randomly assigned to receive either standard medical care alone or standard care plus 8 sessions of the therapy over 4 weeks. Researchers measured symptom severity, nasal blockage, pain, and quality of life before, after, and at follow-up.
