Osteopathy should only be differentiated into parietal, visceral, craniosacral and fascial areas or regional sections of the human body for methodological and didactic reasons, if at all. This categorisation is in any case reduced to absurdity in the actual osteopathic treatment of patients, because the application criteria of osteopathy cannot be considered in isolation in terms of structure or region. In addition, the primary criteria of the practical osteopathic procedure, nutrition and excitation, must be applied to all structures. This also applies to the viscera of the human body. A.T. Still already mentioned this in his works and illustrated it with numerous practical examples of application. He also explained the importance of the internal organs and their relationship to the other body compartments in an osteopathic context. In particular, he emphasised the relevance of the brain and heart for a well-functioning organism. Modern osteopaths certainly have the great merit of having structured and expanded osteopathy in the visceral area, although the foundation and the clear approach were already laid down in detail by A.T. Still on the basis of the philosophy of osteopathy and its assumptions.

Objective – Colic in infants is defined as excessive crying in an otherwise healthy and thriving baby. The crying typically starts in the first few weeks of life and usually resolves within 6 months. We wanted to study whether osteopathic treatments of infants with infantile colic/excessive crying (IC/EC) have an impact on the subjectively perceived psychological stress of the caregivers compared to usual care.
Methods – The study was designed as a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial. Infants aged 1 week to 3 months who met Rome IV criteria for IC/EC were included. By means of external randomization infants were allocated to an intervention group or a control group. Infants in the intervention group received three osteopathic treatments at intervals of 1 week. Treatment was custom tailored and based on osteopathic principles. Controls received their osteopathic treatment after a 3-week untreated period. Both groups were allowed to use usual care. The primary outcome parameter was the assessment of parental psychological stress (3 questions), measured by a numeric rating scale (NRS 0–10). Furthermore, the average daily crying time, the crying intensity and the parents’ self-confidence were assessed.
Results – A total of 103 infants were included, 52 in the intervention group and 51 in the control group. The inter-group comparison of changes revealed clinically relevant improvements in favor of the intervention group for the main outcome parameter psychological stress for all 3 questions. For the secondary outcome parameters of crying intensity and crying time/day, the changes were of similar dimensions.
Conclusion – 3 osteopathic treatments over a period of 2 weeks led to statistically significant and clinically relevant positive changes of parental psychological stress.
