Objective: To assess the effectiveness of OMT on chronic migraineurs using HIT-6 questionnaire, drug consumption, days of migraine, pain intensity and functional disability.
Design: 3-Armed randomized controlled trial setting: all patients admitted in the Department of Neurology of Ancona's United Hospitals, Italy, with a diagnosis of migraine and without chronic illness, were considered eligible for the study.
Interventions: Patients were randomly divided into three groups: (1) OMT+medication therapy, (2) sham+medication therapy and (3) medication therapy only. Patients received 8 treatments in a study period of 6 months.
Main Outcome Measures: Changing from baseline HIT-6 score.
Results: 105 subjects were included. At the end of the study, ANOVA showed that OMT significantly reduced HIT-6 score (mean change scores OMT-conventional care: -8.74; 95% confidence interval (CI) -12.96 to -4.52; p<0.001 and OMT-sham: -6.62; 95% CI -10.85 to -2.41; p<0.001), drug consumption (OMT-sham: RR=0.22, 95% CI 0.11-0.40; OMT-control: RR=0.20, 95% CI 0.10-0.36), days of migraine (OMT-conventional care: M=-21.06; 95% CI -23.19 to -18.92; p<0.001 and OMT-sham: -17.43; 95% CI -19.57 to -15.29; p<0.001), pain intensity (OMT-sham: RR=0.42, 95% CI 0.24-0.69; OMT-control: RR=0.31, 95% CI 0.19-0.49) and functional disability (p<0.001).
Conclusions: These findings suggest that OMT may be considered a valid procedure for the management of migraineurs. The present trial was registered on www.ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier: NCT01851148).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and on-demand aqueous chlorine dioxide mouthwash on the SARS-CoV-2 viral load in mildly symptomatic COVID-19 patients.
- In a randomized clinical trial, participants were assigned to one of three groups: CPC mouthwash, chlorine dioxide mouthwash, or a placebo.
- Results showed that CPC mouthwash significantly reduced salivary viral titer at 10 minutes but had no effect at later intervals, whereas chlorine dioxide mouthwash showed no significant difference compared to the placebo at any time point.

School of Health and Care Professions, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth, United Kingdom.
Study Objectives: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is considered effective treatment for moderate-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Clinicians measure adherence to treatment by the number of hours CPAP is used per 24 hours. There have been very few studies examining the patients' lived experience of CPAP and the barriers to use.
