[Dr.Vad]

На простом английском о данном методе с позиции доказательной медицины от American Cancer Society (оценка метода не только применительно к лечению опухолей):

Available scientific evidence does not support claims that craniosacral therapy helps in treating cancer or any other disease. But it may help some people with cancer feel more relaxed. The gentle, hands-on method may offer some relief for symptoms of stress and tension...

Recent studies that have been designed to look at craniosacral therapy often still have problems with control groups and other aspects of the studies. One well-designed study from 2011 looked at quality of life in children with cerebral palsy and found no improvement in those who got cranial osteopathy over those who didn’t.

A review published in 2012 evaluated the published evidence from randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs), considered the “gold standard” for comparing a treatment to a placebo or to another treatment. The researcher concluded that “very few RCTs of CST [craniosacral therapy] exist. Most of these trials are seriously flawed [and consequently, not useful in evaluating this treatment]. Therefore, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that CST has therapeutic effects beyond placebo.”

Craniosacral therapy should not be used in children under age two because the bones of the skull are not fully developed. In one small study, several adults with head injuries had worse symptoms after starting craniosacral therapy.
