So constipation and colic is another
presentation very frequent in pediatrics
utilizing OMM could help to balance the
autonomics and help improve some of the symptoms.
00:14
We could utilize treatments to
address viscerosomatic reflexes,
we could decrease facilitation and get
proper functioning of the GI tract.
00:22
OMM for babies can help to reduce the discomfort
and potentially help to decrease colic.
00:31
There were several studies performed looking
at the efficacy of OMT in treating colic.
00:37
So here, there were 28 infants
randomized into two groups.
00:41
One group received
OMT, the OMM did not.
00:44
And then what they found was
that the kids that received OMT
actually had significant decreases in
crying and increased time sleeping.
00:54
There was a review study done
looking at 6 different studies
looking at the effect of OMT on infant
colic, kids less than 6 months.
01:03
Out of the 6 studies, 5 were
suggestive of a beneficial effect
which added up to reducing
the average crying time
by an hour and 12 minutes per day.
