Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hello everyone, I am a parent who is just starting to look into the DOC option and have couple of questions that I wanted to ask/share: Has anyone been able to find out if there have been any studies conducted since the inception of the procedure in 1988 as to the safety, efficacy and end results. Since we are dealing with infants cranial structure that is at a rapid growth phase at this time, I am a little worried as to any long term side effects or damages. This could be my simple paranoia, but I just wanted to ask if anyone has gone finding things this route. Thanks, Chandrika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi Chandrika, Please let me know what you find out. Our son is a border-line case and I'm not sure if I want to put him through the helmet. I've heard primarily good things about the helmets from this group, but it would be nice to know if you find out anything else. Thanks, from another paranoid mom. -Kim > > Hello everyone, > I am a parent who is just starting to look into the DOC option and have couple of questions that I wanted to ask/share: > > Has anyone been able to find out if there have been any studies conducted since the inception of the procedure in 1988 as to the safety, efficacy and end results.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I can't think of any specific studies off the top of my head and unfortunately don't have time to do a search right now, but there is a wealth of information in our Files section, so I would encourage you to start there and hopefully you'll get some of the answers and/or reassurance that you're looking for. Thanks!
