Sponsored by Cairo University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
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.
Subjects:
The Study targets the children with spastic cerebral palsy from both sexes , sample size estimation will be carried out to determine the recruited number of children ,Children participating in this study will be selected randomly from Cairo pediatric physical therapy centers to participate in this study.
Study Design:
A comparative experimental design (Prospective pre-test post-test design with 2 months follow-up evaluation) .
Children will be assessed by measuring the drooling before and after two months of receiving intervention.
60 studies on the registry are indexed under Sialorrhea; 5 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 30 is close to the median of 31 across 44 interventional studies indexed under Sialorrhea.

assessment of drooling severity
by using The 5-minute drooling quotient.it is expressed as a percentage of observed drooling episodes.
Time frame: 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
Time frame: 2months for each participant
