NCT01496872 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2018-09-27

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Two prominent osteopathic physician researchers have studied cranial somatic dysfunction in newborns. Dr Viola Frymann published a paper in 1966 on the presence of somatic dysfunction involving 1250 infants. Dr. Jane Carreiro evaluated 1600 newborns in 1993 for cranial somatic dysfunction. This observational study is intended to continue their work in exploring the presence of cranial somatic dysfunction in newborns. The hypothesis is that there is an increased incidence of somatic dysfunction in newborns birthed by primigravid women and in newborns who experienced a longer second stage of labor.
