An observational study in Non Synostotic Plagiocephaly, sponsored by Hacettepe University. Status unknown at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 1 Day to 7 Months. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-02-13.
Sponsored by Hacettepe University · Observational
Investigating the optimal usage time of helmet therapy is the aim of the study. Participants will be babies with deformational plagiocephaly. Plagiocephalometric assesments will be utilize to follow improvement of head symmetry. Scales asking sensational integration and severity of plagiocephaly will also be used. Time of daily usage will be follow with daily asking the caregivers how long the baby wear the helmet in a day. Participants will follow for three months.

Time of daily usage will be follow with daily asking the caregivers how long the baby wear the helmet in a day. Participants will follow for three months. After the follow period completed, participants will be allocated two groups; avarage using 15-18 hours a day and avarage using 19-23 hours a day. Results will be compared for the two groups and correlation between the time of usage and cranial symmetry will be compare.
Babies using helmet due to deformational plagiocephaly.
have deformational plagiocephaly consent from caregivers age between 1 day to 7 months
Exclusion Criteria:
have another systemic, neurologic or orthopedic problem
Babies who worn the helmet for 15-18 hours a day
Other: No intervention
Babies who worn the helmet for 19-23 hours a day
Other: No intervention
No intervention
plagiocephaly severity scale
scale which has 5 subgroups as following frontal asymmetry, occipital flattening, head tilt, fascial asymmetry, ear asymmetry
Time frame: Change from Baseline in head asymmetry at 6th weeks of treatment, at the end of the treatment/12th weeks
Hemispheric asymmetry
Difference between the right and left hemisphere of head (centimeter)
Time frame: Change from Baseline in head asymmetry at 6th weeks of treatment, at the end of the treatment/12th weeks
Plan to share: Undecided
