Craniosynostosis
MONDO:0015469Craniosynostosis is defined as the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures leading to secondary distortion of skull shape resulting in skull deformities with a variable presentation. Craniosynostosis may occur in an isolated setting or as part of a syndrome.
Also known as: craniosynostosis syndrome, premature closure of cranial sutures, CSO

Can simple tummy time reshape a Preemie's head?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis trial tests whether a daily routine of tummy time and careful positioning can help correct cranial asymmetry—a flattened head shape—in premature newborns. About 300 babies born before 37 weeks who are in the neonatal ICU or intermediate care unit will be split into two group…

Infant skull study aims to unlock secrets of craniosynostosis
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study looks at skull bone samples from 80 infants aged 3 to 12 months who have craniosynostosis, a condition where skull bones fuse too early. Researchers will measure the bone's strength, structure, and tissue makeup both near and far from the fused area. The goal is to bet…

Helmet therapy for baby flat heads: new study looks at neck and heat effects
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study will follow 270 children with severe positional head deformity who are already using a cranial helmet. Researchers will measure head shape changes, neck rotation, and body surface temperature using thermal imaging. The goal is to understand how helmet therapy might inf…
