Research
Evidence for the Effectiveness of Treatment
Over a three-year period I carried out a research project at a university. The patients included in the study presented with a wide range of symptoms and conditions. From the research project, that used a validated outcome measure (MYMOP), it was found that a high proportion of patients gained statistically significant benefit from the treatments. Conditions treated in the course of the research project included: fatigue, stress, emotional problems, sleep disturbance, digestive upsets, pains in the back, neck, shoulders and legs, headaches and joint pains.
Details of the research have
