ABSTRACT

Introduction: Infant colic is a condition characterized by repetitive and continuous crying with difficulty calming down. Its origin is not defined, which hinders the existence of a successful treatment.
Objective: To analyze the most current scientific evidence on the existing treatments that can be used in infant colic.
Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out in Cinhal, Medline and Scopus databases using the descriptors, “Infant”, “Colic”, “Therapeutics” and the keyword “Treatment”. Ninety-seven total results were obtained, 15 of them were valid.
Analysis and integration of information: The common purpose of the studies analyzed is to reduce the symptoms of colic in infants, focusing on reducing crying, treatments ranged from the administration of oral doses of probiotics, medicinal herbs and homeopathy, to treatment with physical stimuli such as cranio-sacral therapy, acupuncture, massage or reflexology.
Conclusions: There are multiple treatments for infant colic but it cannot be said that one is more effective than the others.
