Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A 100 units of botulinum toxin was injected in both parotid and submandibular glands for children (2 - 12 years) with incapacitating sialorrhea in juvenile cerebral palsy patients and they are followed up for 1 year

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This was a prospective, longitudinal analysis with 1-year follow-up of 52 children with juvenile cerebral palsy (JCP) suffering from sialorrhea enrolled from 3 tertiary pediatric neurology rehabilitation centers (two in Cairo and one in Alexandria) and subjected to repeated BoNT-A injection.

The recruitment period was between June 30, 2021, until May 1, 2022 (the last patient follow-up ended on April 30, 2023).

Intervention: 100 units of OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox®) were injected in the parotid and submandibular glands Follow-up visits: mo 1 post-injection (for every injection session) and every 3 months thereafter

In each visit; the following efficacy variables were assessed:

Primary outcome measures: The severity and frequency of sialorrhea evaluated by Drooling Severity Scale (DSS), and Drooling Frequency Scale (DFS) and visual-analogic ratings of familial distress (VAS-FD).

Secondary outcome measure: The carers' Global Impression of Change Scale score measured on a 7-point Likert scale from -3 (very much worse) to +3 (very much improved)

Also, adverse events were assessed in each visit
