Excessive Drooling (Sialorrhea)

Sialorrhea is the involuntary, passive pooling and spillage of saliva from the mouth.  The condition is commonly found in patients with cerebral palsy and traumatic brain injury.

Botox® has emerged as one of the primary interventional tools in the treatment of excessive drooling. Injecting Botox® directly into the salivary or parotid glands significantly decreases saliva production. Each treatment can provide relief for up to three months.
