Systematic review of comparative effectiveness and health economics research relating to osteopathic manipulative treatment

Steel and colleagues recently reviewed the literature on comparative effectiveness and health economics research relating to osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) and concluded that the published studies were of insufficient quality and quantity to inform policy and practice (Steel et al., 2016). However, there were several omissions, inconsistencies, and inaccuracies in their review that should be noted. First, a large cost-effectiveness study published prior to their final database search in September 2015 was not included (Wilson et al., 2015).
