Positive significant results following OMT application were reported in 23 studies, and a further 14 studies showed non-significant evidence of beneficial effects of OMT in pediatrics, particularly regarding the length of hospital stay for preterm infants. 15 studies had a low risk of bias, 12 had a high risk, and for the remaining studies, the risk of bias could not be determined. <strong>Conclusions<\/strong>: The dataset shows that OMT achieves positive results for pediatric complaints. However, no high-quality evidence can be derived for any specific condition, as no condition was investigated in more than a single study.
