THE IMPACT OF HYPERSALIVATION IN YOUNG CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH CEREBRAL PALSY ON CHILD HEALTH AND THE ROLE OF BOTULINUM THERAPY IN ITS TREATMENT
Ermatov Farhod Akhmedovich , Central Asian Medical University International Medical University Department of Pediatrics and Pediatric SurgeryAbstract
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder in children characterized by motor and movement impairments. One common complication is hypersalivation (excessive drooling), which negatively affects the child's health. Hypersalivation can disrupt oral hygiene, nutrition, psycho-emotional state, and social functioning. Botulinum therapy has emerged as an effective method for treating hypersalivation. Our study investigates the benefits of botulinum therapy in children with CP.
