A 2006-2007 study with 30 participants, 27 adults and 3 children between the ages of 8 and 14. “The patients presented with pain [(26) 86.7 % ]; depression [(2) 6%]; anxiety [(1) 3.3 % ] and depression +anxiety in [(1) 3.3 % ]. There was complete recovery in 10 (33.3%) cases; 75 % recovery in 7 cases (23.5%) and recovery between 50 to 75 % in 11 cases (36.6% ). 1 patient (3.3 %) showed recovery less than 50 % and 1 patient did not show any improvement. It was concluded that craniosacral therapy reduces the pain and is helpful in anxiety and depression.”
