Participant Flow

Subjects with Parkinson's disease/ parkinsonism with troublesome sialorrhea were recruited from the Movement Disorders clinic at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, and by providing information to neurologists around the Boston area. Ten subjects were recruited between 9/5/2012 and 2/26/2014. The last study visit was completed on 9/5/14

17 subjects were assessed; 7 were excluded because they did not meet study criteria. This was a cross over study; all subjects received both placebo and Incobotulinum toxin injections and were followed up for 3 months after each injection. Washout period was 1-2 months, saliva weight had to be ≥ (baseline- 0.5 SD), to receive the second injection

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and one month post-injection in the Incobotulinum toxin A period compared to the placebo period

measured between baseline and one month post-injection in the Incobotulinum toxin A period compared to the placebo period.Drooling Frequency and Severity Score. The Drooling Score equals the sum of the Severity and Frequency sub-scores. The range is 2-9, higher numbers represent worse drooling Drooling Severity Scale 1. = Never drools, dry 2. = Mild-drooling, only lips wet 3. = Moderate- drool reaches the lips and chin 4. = Severe- drool drips off chin \& onto clothing 5. = Profuse- drooling off the body and onto objects (furniture, books) Drooling Frequency Scale 1\. = No drooling 2. = Occasionally drools 3. = Frequently drools 4. = Constant drooling

all subjects were asked at each monthly visit if they had experienced any adverse events since the previous visit. If they responded yes, a checklist of common and rare side effects was used to query subjects, their adverse events were recorded in a standardized fashion and reported to the Committee for Clinical Investigations as per regulations
