Clinical Trial 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.

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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	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
Primary	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
