Sialorrhea in children with cerebral palsy

Abstract: The most effective treatment that addresses the cause of sialorrhea in children with cerebral palsy is training of sensory awareness and oral motor skills, performed by a speech therapist. Botulinum toxin injection and the use of anticholinergics have a transient effect and are adjuvant to speech therapy; they should be considered in cases of moderate to severe sialorrhea or respiratory complications. Atropine sulfate is inexpensive and appears to have good clinical response combined with good safety profile. … Show more

“…However, side effects of these drugs have been broadly reported; approximately 10%–50% of patients suffer from side effects after treatment with anticholinergic drugs (Dias et al, ; Mato et al, ; Parr et al, ; Zeller et al, ). These side effects include dry mouth, skin reaction to patches, hyperactivity or change of behaviour, sleep disturbance, constipation and urinary retention (Dias et al, ; Mato et al, ; Odachi et al, ; Parr et al, ; Zeller et al, ). Among children, some of these side effects also included pupil dilatation (Mato et al, ; Odachi et al, ; Parr et al, ).…”

“…These in turn, overall, impact on confidence and self-esteem, and also reduce opportunities for social inclusion (Kok, Burg, Hulst, Erasmus, & Hoogen, 2016). On the other hand, posterior drooling poses a risk of aspiration and contributes to the sensation of choking and anxiety, which may cause lung injury and respiratory complications if not diagnosed and treated (Dias, Fernandes, & Maia Filho, 2016;Pellegrini, Lunette, Carlo Ferrarese, & Tremolizzo, 2015).…”

“…Very rarely is sialorrhea actually related to hypersecretion of saliva and is most commonly due to swallowing dysfunction [38]. In children with CP, the prevalence of sialorrhea is estimated to be between 10–58% and is specifically related to oromotor dysfunction, dysphagia and a lack of laryngeal sensation [39]. …”

“…Também é importante destacar que nenhum paciente fez uso medicamentoso específico para o tratamento da sialorreia, tendo como efeito colateral deste uso, a xerostomia ou boca seca 15 . Este efeito poderia implicar em fator de confusão na aná-lise das variáveis estudadas, dificultando assim a análise fidedigna dos resultados do presente estudo.…”

“…Ao indicar um tratamento para o controle da sialorreia em crianças com PC, é necessário considerar a oportunidade de acesso dos pacientes ao método proposto, tendo em vista as condições financeiras, sociais e culturais de cada família. Vale refletir sobre o custo do tratamento e o risco dos procedimentos mais invasivos, para que tragam uma menor sobrecarga para cada paciente/família 15 .…”
