Light Touch Manual Therapy as a Potential Adjuvant for the Management of Mechanical Allodynia
Mechanical allodynia intensity was significantly reduced in patients with acute SCI, when light touch manual therapy based on TOUCH’IN method was associated as a non-pharmacological adjuvant modality to participant’s drug therapy. The MA intensity reduction from an intense to a mild level and the self-perception of health improvement increased right after the end of the first manual therapy session. Since MA intensity reduction was achieved, it remained low for at least 180 days.
