Abstract

Taking into account the unclear information regarding adverse events in osteopathy, where the literature does not show explicit definitions and classifications in studies, it is therefore crucial to look for the presence and severity of any adverse events in osteopathy, comparing them with other manual and manipulative therapies, in order to advance strategies to improve patient safety.
