About this study
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.
Read the detailed description
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.
- Conditions
- Drooling, Kinesiotape, Cerebral Palsy
- Being tested
- KINESIOTAPE, oromotor training
- Medical subject headings
- Sialorrhea, Cerebral Palsy
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
KINESIOTAPEOther
kinesiotape will be applied on orbicularis oris muscle
oromotor trainingOther
selected oromotor training: Perioral sensory stimulation ,Tapping,Tongue pressure,Jaw exercises andIntraoral stimulation
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| groupA(Kinesiotape) | Experimental | kinesio tape on orbicularis oris muscle for 45 minute /3times per week for 2 successive months Receives: Other: KINESIOTAPE |
| group B(oromotor training) | Experimental | oromotor training for 45 minute/ 3 times per week for 2 successive months Receives: Other: oromotor training |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
assessment of drooling severity
by using The 5-minute drooling quotient.it is expressed as a percentage of observed drooling episodes.
Measured: 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
Measured: 2months for each participant
