Effects of manual osteopathic interventions on psychometric and psychophysiological indicators of anxiety, depression and stress in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of... by Darren J Edwards, Jerry Draper-Rodi, Danny Miller, Josh Hope-Bell, Andrew MacMillan, Tom C Gordon

“…Depression improvements were greater in pain populations (Hedges’ g=−0.61, 95% CI: –1.06 to –0.17, p=0.01). However, wide prediction intervals and moderate heterogeneity indicate uncertainty in true effect sizes, and limited studies and sample sizes restrict assessment of publication bias.Conclusions Osteopathic and related manual therapies may reduce depression and influence certain psychophysiological markers, particularly in pain populations, but uncertainty and heterogeneity limit confidence. …”
