Effectiveness of Repositioning and Cranial Remolding in Infants With Cranial Deformation (NCT05917678)
Effectiveness of Repositioning, Physical Therapy, and Cranial Remolding in Infants With Cranial Deformation
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study will examine how effective caregiver's repositioning strategies are in correcting an infant's deformational cranial shape, as well as the effectiveness of the use of a custom cranial remolding orthosis for treatment of deformational head shapes. Infants with torticollis will be concurrently enrolled in physical therapy treatment until the torticollis is resolved. A normal, unaffected population will be studied to compare typical growth to the growth of infants undergoing active treatment.
