Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Strain Counter-Strain (SCS)Designed Oral Motor Program

Strain Counter-Strain (SCS): A manual therapy technique used to release myofascial tightness and muscle tension in the head and neck region to provide a stable postural foundation for oromotor skills

Designed Oral Motor Program: A structured exercise program designed to enhance oral motor functions, including feeding efficiency, mouth opening range, and drooling

Study summary

This study evaluates the clinical efficacy of the Strain Counter-Strain (SCS) technique on improving oromotor functions in children with spastic cerebral palsy. The intervention specifically targets the masseter, SCM, upper trapezius, scalenes, and suprahyoid muscles to release myofascial tension. The study aims to determine if modulating muscle tone through SCS can provide a stable postural foundation to enhance functional oral motor skills. Outcomes are measured after 4 weeks (one month) of intervention, focusing on mouth opening range, drooling frequency and severity, and overall oral motor functions

Inclusion Criteria: * Chronological age was 4 - 8 years from gender was selected * Their degrees of spasticity were 1, 1+ according to modified Ashworth scale. * They had moderate drooling according to modified drooling questionnaire. * Mouth opening limitation was less than 3 cm. * Their levels of motor function were II - III- IV according to gross motor function classification system. * Their levels of feeding abilities were III on Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System. * Children were able to follow instruction Exclusion Criteria: * Any history of jaw, head, and face trauma. * Facial or dental developmental abnormalities. * Any history of head and neck surgical intervention. * Congenital abnormalities of head and neck

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Oral motor functions — Baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
    Assessment of oral motor skills including feeding, swallowing, and coordination using the Oral Motor Assessment Scale (OMAS). The scale scores range from 0 to 2, where higher scores indicate better function
