Identifying gaps and future directions in osteopathic research
Lecturer: Dr. Francesco Cerritelli
Topic: This session explores the current landscape of osteopathic research: existing projects, publications and emerging areas of investigation that could strengthen the scientific foundation of osteopathic principles and clinical practice. Attention will be given to mechanisms of action, neurophysiological correlates, health outcomes, and real-world effectiveness. Participants will be invited to discuss priorities for future collaborative studies and innovative designs capable of bridging the gap between basic science, clinical application, and health system integration.
