Head Circumference Evolution in Children With Positional Plagiocephaly During and After Molding Helmet Therapy.
Sponsor: Central Hospital, Nancy, France
Summary
The aim of this study is to verify the growth of cranial circumference in children treated with helmets for positional skull deformity. The main questions it aims to answer are as follows: Does the helmet produce a reduction in cranial growth during the period in which it is worn? If the growth of the cranial circumference slows down while the helmet is being worn, does it recover a few months after the end of the treatment? The researchers will study changes in cranial circumference during and after helmet treatment. The participants received helmet treatment as part of their usual medical care. They will be followed until medical attention is required and data will be collected retrospectively.
