Abstract in brief

The study aims to review existing evidence on behavioral interventions aimed at reducing drooling in children with neurodisabilities.
A thorough search across multiple databases identified seven single-case experimental designs (SCEDs) and one randomized controlled trial (RCT) focusing on various behavioral techniques like reinforcement and prompting.
Results showed positive effects on drooling frequency and severity; however, the overall evidence quality was low and highlighted a need for more rigorous research in this area.
