Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

1

Assessment for cranial strain patterns, followed by indirect osteopathic treatment of dysfunctions found on assessment, followed by reassessment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cranial osteopathic manipulation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

This treatment is performed by exaggerating the motion asymmetry with a minimum of pressure (a few ounces) and holding the position until the motion becomes symmetrical.

2

Assessment for cranial strain patterns, followed by laying on of hands, followed by reassessment.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Sham/Placebo

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A laying on of hands with no treatment being performed.
