This study purpose of determining the short-term effects of kinesio taping on drooling in children with cerebral palsy (CP).
CP were randomly divided into 3 groups as the kinesio tape ( = 16), sham tape ( = 16), and control ( = 16) groups. The drooling severity and frequency were assessed with the Drooling Severity and Frequency Scale, and the amount of saliva was measured by the 5-minute drooling quotient. All outcome measurements were repeated for all children at the baseline, after 45 minutes, and after 2 days of application.
There was a significant decrease found in drooling severity, frequency, and amount in the kinesio taping group ( < .05). There was no significant difference in the sham taping and control groups ( > .05).
The use of kinesio tape in drooling reduced drooling severity, frequency, and amount.
本研究旨在确定运动贴扎对脑瘫（CP）儿童流口水的短期影响。
CP 患儿随机分为三组，即运动贴扎组（ = 16）、假贴扎组（ = 16）和对照组（ = 16）。流口水严重程度和频率采用流口水严重程度和频率量表评估，唾液量采用 5 分钟流口水指数测量。所有患儿在基线时、45 分钟后和应用后 2 天重复所有结局测量。
运动贴扎组的流口水严重程度、频率和量均显著下降（ < .05）。假贴扎组和对照组之间无显著差异（ > .05）。
运动贴扎的使用减少了流口水的严重程度、频率和量。
