Abstract in brief

  • Drooling is a common and distressing issue for children with cerebral palsy, leading to social, medical, and communication challenges.
  • The review aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of various interventions, especially focusing on randomized controlled trials involving pharmacological treatments like botulinum toxin A, benztropine, and glycopyrrolate, to inform clinical practice and guide future research.
  • Only a limited number of studies met inclusion criteria, with no available controlled trials on surgical, physical, or behavioral therapies, highlighting a need for further research in these areas.
