Brief Summary

Statement of the problem : Which is more effective for treatment of drooling in children with spastic cerebral palsy; kinesio taping or oromotor training? Null Hypothesis: There will be no difference between the effectiveness of kinesio taping and oromotor training on drooling in children with spastic cp.

Conditions

Drooling; Kinesiotape; Cerebral Palsy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• assessment of drooling severity

  by using The 5-minute drooling quotient.it is expressed as a percentage of observed drooling episodes.

  2 months for each participant

• assessment of drooling severity and frequency

  by using The Drooling Severity and Frequency Scale. at severity: score 1:no drool ,score5:profuse drooling. at frequency: score 1:never drool ,score4: constant drool

  2months for each participant

Study Arms (2)

groupA(Kinesiotape)

EXPERIMENTAL

kinesio tape on orbicularis oris muscle for 45 minute /3times per week for 2 successive months

Other: KINESIOTAPE

group B(oromotor training)

EXPERIMENTAL

oromotor training for 45 minute/ 3 times per week for 2 successive months

Other: oromotor training

Interventions

KINESIOTAPE OTHER

kinesiotape will be applied on orbicularis oris muscle

groupA(Kinesiotape)

oromotor training OTHER

selected oromotor training: Perioral sensory stimulation ,Tapping,Tongue pressure,Jaw exercises andIntraoral stimulation

group B(oromotor training)

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 4 Years - 8 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)

You may qualify if:

• A diagnosis of spastic cerebral palsy with drooling problem.
• The age of the selected children will range from 4to 8 years old.
• Severe degree of drooling according to Drooling Severity and Frequency Scale.
• Child with good head control

You may not qualify if:

• Congenital problems of mouth and soft palate such as cleft lip and palate, jaw anomalies and salivary gland pathologies.
• Epilepsy.
• Child receiving drugs that could affect saliva production or other treatments to control drooling just before or during the study.
• Allergic reactions to the kinesio tape.
