The application of cranial osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) is always controversial in the literature. Primary respiration related to the movement of spheno-basilar synchondrosis in the adult goes against the knowledge of complete ossification that occurs at this articulation after the pubertal phase. The idea that the operator's hands can communicate with the meninges is difficult to accept. The anatomy shows us that the fascial system involves the meninges and that from the microcellular point of view there are no layers that divide one tissue from another. The backing of new sciences, such as quantum physics, suggest that cranial palpation allows the osteopath to come into contact with the meninges. Recent scientific evidence shows that meningeal afferents can affect extracranial areas and that the pericranial musculature itself is able to influence these afferents. The article highlights some reflections in support of cranial osteopathy, based on scientific information that could help the osteopath to improve clinical work.
颅骨整骨手法医学（OMM）的应用在文献中一直存在争议。与成人蝶枕软骨结合运动相关的原发性呼吸与青春期后该关节处发生完全骨化的认知相悖。手法操作者的双手能与脑膜进行交流这一观点难以被接受。解剖学向我们表明，筋膜系统涉及脑膜，并且从微观细胞角度来看，不存在将一种组织与另一种组织分隔开的层面。诸如量子物理学等新科学的支持表明，颅骨触诊能让整骨医生接触到脑膜。最近的科学证据表明，脑膜传入神经可影响颅外区域，并且颅周肌肉组织自身能够影响这些传入神经。本文基于一些科学信息对颅骨整骨疗法进行了一些思考，这些信息有助于整骨医生改进临床工作。
