Comorbidities of deformational plagiocephaly in infancy: a scoping review protocol. [PDF]
BMJ Paediatr Open, 2021 Introduction Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is one of the most common cranial shape disorders in infancy. It is characterised by unilateral flattening of the skull due to head preference to one side.

Efficacy of pediatric integrative manual therapy in positional plagiocephaly: a randomized controlled trial. [PDF]
Ital J Pediatr, 2021 Background Positional plagiocephaly frequently affects healthy babies. It is hypothesized that manual therapy tailored to pediatrics is more effective in improving plagiocephalic cranial asymmetry than just repositioning and sensory and motor stimulation.
