A medical article, “A Research Proposal Evaluating the Effectiveness of the Brain Score and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy for Neonates,” about the Baby Brain Score was published in The Internet Journal of Pediatrics and Neonatology (2010: Volume 11, Number 2), a peer-reviewed medical journal. It discusses how the effects of a difficult pregnancy, an arduous labor, the use of forceps or vacuum suction, a Caesarian section, the umbilical cord wrapped around the throat and body and other traumas, can impair the function of the newborn’s brain and spinal cord.
Fetal and birth trauma can cause diseases from serious brain injury, including cerebral palsy and epilepsy, to less-severe nervous system diseases such as ADHD, strabismus, and reading (dyslexia) and speech disorders. Fetal and birth trauma can also cause the more-common pediatric illnesses of colic, esophageal reflux, constipation, digestive issues, nursing issues, sleeping issues, asthma, earache, headache, rhinitis, neck ache, jaw pain and scoliosis.
