Brief Summary:
Hepatic steatosis is a disease that is becoming more common in our society; approximately 40% of the population suffers from non-alcoholic fatty liver. The beneficial effect of manual therapy for the treatment of viscera dysfunctions such as the stomach or colon is known. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the anti-inflammatory effects of visceral manual therapy in patients with metabolic liver disease associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver.
Detailed Description:
Chronic liver diseases such as metabolic disease associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver lead to a stiff liver due to activation of hepatic stellate cells or portal fibroblasts into matrix-producing myofibroblasts. Congested livers tend to fibrosis, while the physiological forces that the liver receives during physical activity and deep breathing could have a beneficial effect on it, favoring physiological remodeling.
The importance of the mobility of the viscera for their proper functioning is known. Likewise, the beneficial effect of physical activity on the liver is known. This physical activity includes a component of applying pressure on the liver. These pressures are also exerted during the techniques described for manual liver treatment. Although there is some evidence about the effectiveness of these manual techniques for the treatment of pain situations, the effect they could have on liver parameters is unknown.
For all these reasons, we aim to know the effect of manual liver techniques on biochemical and mechanical sensitivity parameters in subjects with Metabolic Disease Associated with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver (NAFLD).
