These disorders are associated with a range of symptoms, including visual discomfort, reduced visual efficiency, and decreased functional performance during sustained near-vision activities.\n\nOptometric vision therapy is an evidence-based intervention aimed at improving vergence function and visual efficiency. Despite its effectiveness, clinical response varies among individuals, and a subset of participants may continue to experience persistent symptoms. This variability has prompted interest in adjunctive interventions that may influence neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, or functional components related to oculomotor control.\n\nThis study is designed as a randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial with three parallel arms. Participants diagnosed with vergence disorders will be randomly assigned to one of the following groups: (1) optometric vision therapy combined with osteopathic treatment, (2) optometric vision therapy combined with a sham osteopathic intervention, or (3) optometric vision therapy alone.\n\nThe primary objective of the study is to evaluate whether the addition of osteopathy to optometric vision therapy results in greater improvements in ocular mobility and efficiency, assessed using video-oculography systems (REMOBI and EyeSeeCam). Secondary objectives include the evaluation of symptom changes associated with vergence disorders using a validated questionnaire (CISS-V15), as well as the exploration of potential relationships between functional ocular impairment, identified somatic dysfunctions, and the anatomical distribution of reported symptoms.\n\nOcular motor performance will be objectively quantified through standardized vergence tasks recorded by video-oculography, including measures of reaction latency, amplitude variability, amplitude error, and neglect rate. Assessments will be conducted at baseline (pre-intervention), post-intervention (within two weeks after completion of the visual therapy program), and at follow-up time points of three and six months after the intervention.\n\nThe osteopathic intervention consists of a standardized manual treatment protocol targeting somatic dysfunctions potentially related to binocular vision and vergence function. The sham osteopathic intervention is designed to mimic the context, duration, and therapist-participant interaction of the active manual treatment without applying therapeutic osteopathic techniques, in order to preserve participant blinding.\n\nThe results of this study are expected to contribute to a better understanding of the potential role of osteopathy as an adjunctive intervention in the management of vergence disorders and to provide clinically relevant data on the relationship between somatic dysfunctions and functional visual alterations in individuals with high visual demand.",[41,47,53],{"label":42,"type":43,"description":44,"interventionNames":45},"Vision Therapy Alone","ACTIVE_COMPARATOR","Participants receive optometric vision therapy alone, consisting of structured in-office and home-based exercises targeting vergence and binocular vision dysfunctions.",[46],"Behavioral: Optometric Vision Therapy",{"label":48,"type":49,"description":50,"interventionNames":51},"Vision Therapy + Osteopathic Treatment","EXPERIMENTAL","Participants receive two sessions of standardized osteopathic manual treatment separated by approximately three weeks, followed by a structured optometric vision therapy program consisting of 8 sessions delivered at a frequency of 1-2 sessions per week.",[46,52],"Behavioral: Osteopathic Manual Therapy",{"label":54,"type":55,"description":56,"interventionNames":57},"Vision Therapy + Sham Osteopathic Intervention","SHAM_COMPARATOR","Participants receive two sessions of a standardized sham osteopathic intervention separated by approximately three weeks, designed to mimic the context and duration of manual treatment without applying therapeutic techniques, followed by the same structured optometric vision therapy program (8 sessions, 1-2 sessions per week).",[46,58],"Behavioral: Sham Osteopathic Intervention",[60,65,69],{"type":61,"name":62,"description":63,"armGroupLabels":64,"otherNames":27},"BEHAVIORAL","Optometric Vision Therapy","Structured optometric vision therapy program consisting of in-office and home-based visual exercises aimed at improving binocular vision and vergence function.
