A large percentage of these wounds are venous stasis ulcers of the lower extremity. Evidence suggests that adjuvant osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) may provide a benefit by reducing edema and subsequent healing times in venous stasis ulcers of the lower extremity.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jaoa.2018.172_s_002_w2aab3b7c27b1b6b1aab1c16b2Aa\">\n                  <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To determine whether a lymphatic OMT protocol improves wound healing rates among patients with lower-extremity edema.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jaoa.2018.172_s_003_w2aab3b7c27b1b6b1aab1c16b3Aa\">\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This pilot study was a nonrandomized before-after community trial of lymphatic OMT in patients with lower-extremity wounds and edema. Wound surface area measurements for the preliminary phase were obtained retrospectively. During the intervention period, patients received 10 minutes of OMT twice per week. The OMT protocol, which aimed to improve lymphatic flow, included myofascial thoracic outlet release, doming of the diaphragm, pelvic diaphragm release, popliteal release, and pedal pump (2-3 minutes of continuous pump) performed in sequence. Rates of wound healing were compared between the preliminary (standard therapy), intervention (standard therapy plus OMT), and follow-up (standard therapy) phases. Rates of change in edema (measured using leg volume) were evaluated during the intervention phase. A custom-designed questionnaire was used to assess patients\u2019 satisfaction with their treatment and confidence that its effects on their health were good.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jaoa.2018.172_s_004_w2aab3b7c27b1b6b1aab1c16b4Aa\">\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Eight patients were included in the study.
