Official Title: OPT-IN: Osteopathic Plagiocephaly Treatment for Infants and Neonates
Brief Summary:
The goal of this crossover randomized clinical trial is to assess the effects of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) compared to standard of care repositioning in children diagnosed with positional/deformational plagiocephaly.
The main hypothesis is that children who received OMT will show significantly improved anthropometric measures of cranial symmetry over those receiving the current pediatric standard of care of repositioning.
This is a two-arm, randomized cross-over clinical trial.
With parental consent, pediatric patients (infants <4 months of age) will be organized into one of two groups:
Timeline: It is projected that to recruit and carry out the assessments and interventions (8-weeks of each group with 12-months of follow-up longitudinally), it will require two years (24-months) from the beginning of the study to completion.
