Summary

This study was formulated to determine the efficacy of passive oral motor regimen for drooling in children with multiple disabilities. Seven subjects aged 7-19yrs were taken in the study. All the subjects received passive treatment which included light touch, stroking, vibration, tapping, pressure and stretch. All the techniques have been proved to be effective in treating drooling. Relative sterility and hygiene was maintained throughout the procedure as sterilized gloves and napkins were used. The measurement protocol was designed to check effectiveness on drooling in children. The protocol was given for 4 weeks with treatment sessions given 3 times per week and the treatment duration was 30min. Twelve sessions of oral motor stimulation therapy given during the 4 weeks. Thirteen after 4 weeks of treatment, improvement was found in terms of the severity as well. Primary outcome measure taken was Drooling Frequency and Severity rating scale and secondary outcome measure being taken was drool quotient. Pre and post intervention scores of Drooling Frequency and Severity rating scale and drool quotient were taken and data was analyzed using wilcoxon signed rank test .
