RESUMO
@#ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on salivated children with cerebral palsy. Methods43 salivated children with cerebral palsy were divided into NMES group (n=22) and control group (n=21). Both groups accepted the same routine treatment, while the NMES group was given the NMES in addition. All the children were evaluated before and 8 weeks after treatment with teacher drooling sizing (TDS). ResultsThe TDS of NMES group was significantly different with that of the control group (P<0.05) after treatment. ConclusionNMES can decrease the salivation in children with cerebral palsy, and promote their swallowing function.
