Abstract
Drooling can greatly affect the daily lives of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. Botox injections into the saliva glands can help reduce drooling. Doctors are uncertain whether to treat only the submandibular glands under the jaw or also the parotid glands near the ears. The goal of this study was to predict which children might not respond well to these injections (no large reduction in drooling), to decide on the best treatment approach.
