EUREKA Osteo is participating in a research program aimed at treating colicky babies.<\/p>\n

Dr Megan May said the clinic is seeking infants between one and 10 weeks old, who are often unsettled and cry a lot, to be part of the Crying Unsettled disTressed Infants Effectiveness Study.<\/p>\n

Within the \u2018CUTIES trial,\u2019 each baby will receive free osteo treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe criteria for this study is a baby that cries for more than three hours per day, three days per week,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cColic is a vague word to describe this. It\u2019s crying that is inconsolable, so they\u2019re not okay after a feed, or after they\u2019ve been picked up; they\u2019re really hard to settle.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough babies might cry for two hours a day, and that\u2019s stressful for parents, that\u2019s within the spectrum of normal newborn behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr May said global research has discovered crying \u201chas tapered off\u201d by the time a baby is three to four months of age, whether they have been breast-fed or formula-fed, are co-sleeping or not.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019re trying to see babies that are newborn and under 10 weeks of age when we meet them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t really know what causes colic, whether it\u2019s anything to do with musculoskeletal issues, nervous system issues, digestive issues… There\u2019s heaps of remedies that people have used for decades, but most don\u2019t really have evidence,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this randomised controlled trial, parents keep a crying diary, so we can see whether all types of hands-on treatments are giving babies some relief, or none, or whether osteo treatment specifically is resulting in decreased crying time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr May would like to see at least 20 babies over the next couple of months, not only seeking a successful treatment, but helping parents \u201cset realistic expectations\u201d about newborn behaviour, and develop strategies that work for their child and family.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a baby presents to us, our job is to discover any feeding issues, if the baby is generally well and healthy, putting on weight, has any musculoskeletal issues, if anything happened in the birth that needs to be checked, and generally screen development, reflexes, and for hip dysplasia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe parents and the babies will receive a full osteopathic examination, and all of the same advice and education, no matter which treatment arm they\u2019re in, whether generalised light touch, or osteopathic treatment,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a baby is stressed, their central nervous system might be in a fight or flight zone, so anything that helps them rest and digest, and get system to calm down is going to be helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many osteopaths nationally, and within the United Kingdom and Switzerland, are contributing to the CUTIES trial to see whether the scope of osteopathic treatment – typically musculoskeletal – could be broadened.<\/p>\n
