The FCERO has financially supported certain projects carried out in recognized institutions (universities, hospitals).
The most recent subsidized researches are the following:
- Audrey Drapeau, 2017, Université Laval, Effect of a cranio-cervical and visceral arterial osteopathic manipulation on cerebral blood flow
- Victor Oswald et al, 2019, University of Montreal Magnetoencephalography Laboratory, The effect of osteopathic treatment on cognitive functional neurophysiological abilities and heart rate variability in multi-concussed athletes.
- Sandra O’Connor, 2021, Sherbrooke University Hospital, Physiobehavioral responses of preterm infants in the neonatal unit to repeated osteopathic sessions administered with neuroprotective strategies, a series of experimental single-case comparative non-inferiority studies.
Within the Collège d’Études Ostéopathiques de Montréal, the FCERO has participated in the awarding of the Andrew Taylor Still Bursary, given to osteopaths who have distinguished themselves by their exceptional commitment to the promotion, advancement and recognition of Osteopathy. To date, 69 osteopaths from various campuses have received this recognition.
FCERO has disseminated research results in various relevant institutions, has supported the research department of the Collège d’Études Ostéopathiques de Montréal and has developed, in collaboration with other institutions (A.T. Still Museum, Kirksville), an osteopathic archive.
