Presentation Title:

Osteopathic approach in the stimulation of the endocannabinoid system: case report

Abstract

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) and the autonomic nervous system (ANS) are crucial for maintaining bodily homeostasis, yet their interaction remains underexplored. We present the first clinical case in which the osteopathic CV4 technique modulated both systems in a 53-yearold patient with habitual cannabis use, comorbidities, and sleep disorders. Following treatment, the patient reported reduced THC consumption, improved sleep quality, and enhanced overall well-being, as confirmed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and SF-36 questionnaires. This innovative case demonstrates how non-invasive techniques can influence complex physiological systems, opening new therapeutic avenues for conditions such as anxiety, chronic pain, and sleep disturbances. Our goal is to expand this research with larger studies and advanced tools, inspiring novel integrative approaches. This work represents a significant step forward in integrative medicine, bridging science and clinical practice in a promising way.
