ABSTRACT

Difficulties controlling sialorrhea in children diagnosed with cerebral palsy is a common symptom. Kinesiotape is currently being used for its treatment. The objective is to describe the evolution of a patient with cerebral palsy who used the kinesiotape for the control of sialorrhea after the rehabilitation treatment (speech therapy). We report the case of a 14-year-old male patient, treated at the Child Neurology Clinic of the International Center for Neurological Restoration from January to March 2020. The treatment included six weekly sessions, of one hour each, for 56 days. Qualitative and quantitative improvements are evidenced for the control of hypersalivation on the physical, psycho-affective and emotional levels. Kinesiotape is recommended as an adjunct to other speech therapy intervention techniques necessary to achieve a favorable evolution of sialorrhea control in children with cerebral palsy.
