A non-surgical method of reducing drooling in cerebral-palsied children.
A programme is described which aimed to reduce drooling volume in groups of cerebral-palsied children. The programme, which lasted one year, required the children to wear chin cups and to attend special 'anti-drooling' classes. The over-all reduction in volume of drooling was 73 per cent.
