Cover Story: Osteopathy in the cranial field (OCF) is an approach within osteopathy which focuses on the cranial region’s manipulation. While the collective experience of successfully treating patients with specific conditions suggests OCF’s usefulness, the currently available evidence suggests refraining from such treatment. This ethical dilemma could be solved by defining a strong scientific rationale based on the current knowledge in the fields of neurophysiology and mechanobiology. Indeed, recent research on touch, mechanobiology, exo-endocranial neural connections, and their relationship with trigeminal and autonomic pathways shows that OCF could play an effective role in the management of craniofacial algic-dysfunctional syndromes. Therefore, research on OCF is encouraged to contribute to a patient-centered and evidence-based approach. View this paper
