Abstract

The article summarizes a randomized controlled trial which investigated the effectiveness of helmet therapy in infants with positional skull deformation compared with the natural course of the condition. The observed primary outcome and results of the study cover the score for both plagiocephaly and brachycephaly, and the rate of patient recovery in the helmet therapy group compared to the natural course group.
