Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study evaluates the effects of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) on pelvic floor symptoms, physical activity, and gait in female runners who run at least 15 miles per week. Participants will complete six sessions over 6 to 8 weeks, including questionnaires, gait assessments, and OMT, while wearing devices to track activity. The study uses a within-subject approach to monitor changes over time with standardized assessments. No control group is described in the available materials, and all procedures are conducted at the University of Kentucky under the lead sponsorship of Elizabeth Perrero.
