No evidence-based conclusions can be reached on the effectiveness ofcranial orthoses due to the limited methodological quality of the available trials.
Further research in the form of a randomised controlled trial is needed to determine the true effectiveness of cranial orthoses.
No published economic evaluations assessing the cost effectiveness of cranial orthoses were found.
