ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding how congenital muscular torticollis, a condition where a child's head tilts to one side due to tight neck muscles, affects their motor development and sensory processing. Researchers believe that the way a child's head is positioned can impact their posture, movement, and overall development. By studying children with this condition, the goal is to gather important information that can help improve care and support for these young patients.

To be eligible for the study, infants aged between 0 and 12 months who have been diagnosed with congenital torticollis can participate, as long as their parents agree to it. However, children with serious genetic issues, major health problems, or vision and hearing difficulties will not be included. Families who join the study can expect a thorough evaluation of their child's motor skills and sensory processing, helping to ensure that children receive the best possible support as they grow. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and all genders are welcome to take part.
