Most etiologies stem from trauma and entrapment of cutaneous branches of the upper thoracic nerves.</p> <p><strong>Objectives:</strong> We report a case of NP treated with osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) along with a review of previous treatment modalities performed per the literature.</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> A comprehensive literature search using PubMed was performed on NP and its treatment. Keywords used include notalgia paresthetica, treatment, osteopathic manipulation, neuropathy and pruritus.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Our patient reported a 30% reduction in severity of pruritus after receiving OMT, with full intention of following up in office for additional treatment.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> OMT monotherapy or combination treatments may prove to be efficacious with little to no added risk.</p>}, number={5}, journal={Osteopathic Family Physician}, author={Danielle Cooley, DO and Michael McAree, OMS and Neal Joshi, OMS and Wasif Peerzada, OMS}, year={2020}, month={Aug.}, pages={25–29} }
