Efficacy of pediatric integrative manual therapy in positional plagiocephaly: a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 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.

HElmet therapy Assessment in infants with Deformed Skulls (HEADS): protocol for a randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Trials, 2012 Background In The Netherlands, helmet therapy is a commonly used treatment in infants with skull deformation (deformational plagiocephaly or deformational brachycephaly). However, evidence of the effectiveness of this treatment remains lacking. The HEADS

Positional plagiocephaly. [PDF]
Paediatr Child Health, 2011 Cranial asymmetry occurring as a result of forces that deform skull shape in the supine position is known as deformational plagiocephaly. The risk of plagiocephaly may be modified by positioning the baby on alternate days with the head to the right or the left side, and by increasing time spent in the prone position during awake periods.
