RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the causes of violations of expressive speech in children 4-5 years old, to assess changes in neurological status in children with motor alalia without and during treatment with Cellex. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Two groups of patients were recruited: the main group (n=30; treatment; Cellex) and the control group (n=12; without Cellex). The drug was administered in the first half of the day by 1.0 ml subcutaneously, 10 days, daily. The patient's visit card was analyzed 4 times: before treatment, 10 days later, 1 and 2 months after the start of treatment. Statistical hypotheses were tested using the χ2 and Fisher criterions, the odds ratio (OR) and the 95% confidence interval (CI) OR were determined. RESULTS: In more than half of the cases, violations of the neurological status, the burden of the perinatal period, a decrease in cognitive tests, and a lack of fine motor skills were revealed. Left-handedness or two-handedness, overload of viewing or listening to gadgets from the age of up to a year, violations of opercular praxis were almost always noted. The effect of the drug Cellex on the «launch of speech¼ in children with motor alalia has been shown. It has been established that the drug is well tolerated, has no adverse side effects and has a positive effect on the «launch of speech¼. The progress of the dynamics of speech development, progress in play and cognitive activity was observed in all children of the main group. CONCLUSION: The use of the drug Cellex can be effective in the treatment of children with motor alalia.
