[en] Introduction: Infantile colic is a self-limiting dysfunction in infants normally between 0 and 4 months of age. In spite of being an apparently benign process, it constitutes one of the most common reasons for medical consultation during the first year of life as well as in emergency services, also generating considerable anxiety to the parents. The unknown aetiology of the illness or its multifactorial nature makes the treatment complex. It has been observed that certain physiotherapy techniques show some efficiency with substantial improvement in the infant's hours of crying, along with its general state. Objective: Determining the efficiency of the combination of cranial manual physiotherapy techniques and visceral manual physiotherapy techniques on the symptomatology associated with infantile colic on babies up to 4 months old. By performing 2 sessions of 1 hour and 30 minutes, 7 days apart and a reassessment after 7 and 14 days at the Ventorrillo healthcare centre in A Coruña. Material and method: An experimental study is proposed, with a quantitative structure (controlled and randomised clinical trial), framed on the population of a healthcare centre in A Coruña. The children will recruit in the healthcare centre by the paediatricians when they attend their check-up or go to the doctor's surgery. These are derived to the project if they meet the set criteria. Once they are with the physiotherapist, they are given the 'Questionnaire on the Severity of the Infantile Colic (ICSQ)'. If it is determined through using the scores obtained on this scale that they are infants that are suffering from colic, the randomised distribution of the patients will be conducted in two groups. Babies assigned to the control group will only receive visceral massage and treatment protocol, while the experimental group will also receive the other cranial flexibilization technique of the posterior cranial suture tissue, looking to find a reflex effect of modulation of the central nervous system.

[gl] Introdución: O CL é unha disfunción autolimitada no lactante normalmente entre os 0 e os 4 meses. A pesar de ser un proceso aparentemente benigno, constitúe un dos motivos de consulta mais habituais no primeiro ano de vida e nos servicios de urxencias, xerando ademais gran ansiedade nos pais. A etioloxía descoñecida da disfunción e o seu carácter multifactorial, fai que o tratamento de esta sexa complexo. Puidéronse observar que algunhas técnicas de fisioterapia teñen certa eficacia con importantes melloras nas horas de choro dos nenos, así como o estado xeral do mesmo. Obxectivo: Determinar a eficacia da combinación de técnicas de fisioterapia manual cranial e fisioterapia manual visceral sobre a sintomatoloxía asociada o cólico do lactante en nenos de ata 4 meses de idade. Realizando dúas sesións de 1 hora e 30 minutos, con unha diferencia de 7 días e unha reavaliación ós 7 e 14 días, en nenos do centro de saúde do Ventorrillo na Coruña. Material e método: Faise un estudio experimental, con abordaxe cuantitativo (ensaio clínico controlado e aleatorizado), enmarcado na poboación dun Centro de saúde da Coruña. Os nenos serán captados no centro de saúde polos pediatras cando acuden a revisión ou a consulta. Estos derivanse o proyecto si cumplen os criterios do mismo. Unha vez na consulta de fisioterapia administraselles o "Cuestionario de Severidade do Cólico do Lactante (ICSQ)". Se esta escala determina según as súas puntuacions se son nenos "con cólico", efectuarase unha distribución aleatoria en dous grupos. A os nenos asignados o grupo control realizaraselle unicamente o protocolo de terapia manual visceral, mentres que ao grupo experimental realizaraselle o protocolo xunto con outra técnica cranial de flexibilización do tecido do forame rasgado posterior buscando un efecto reflexo de modulación do SNC.
