Experimental evidence supporting the existence of the viscerosomatic reflex highlights an involvement of multiple vertebral levels when renal pathology is present. Further exploration of this reflex, particularly in the context of nephrolithiasis, could offer valuable insights for osteopathic treatments related to this pathology. Open-sourced machine learning datasets provide a valuable source of imaging data for investigating osteopathic phenomena including the viscerosomatic reflex.
