Identifying potential treatment effect modifiers of the effectiveness of chiropractic care to infants with colic  through prespecified secondary analyses of a randomised controlled trial

ConclusionMusculoskeletal indicators were not shown to be predictive of an increased benefit for colicky infants from chiropractic treatment. However, increased benefit was associated with early treatment and a high level of baseline crying, suggesting that the most severely affected infants have the greatest potential of benefiting from manual therapy. This finding requires validation by future studies.Trial registrationClinical TrialsNCT02595515, registered 2 November 2015.
