Objective: To verify the effectiveness of the Kinesio taping method in the control of saliva deglutition in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Material and Methods: The study was carried out in the School Division of Associacao de Assistencia a Crianca Deficiente (The Disabled Child Assistance Association - AACD). A total of 42 children aged 4 to 15 years (mean 8 years and 9 months), of both sexes, with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy and complaint of sialorrhea were studied. A check list was employed with the children’s parents, which included questions on sialorrhea and subsequently, two scales were used to score the frequency and severity of the condition. The Kinesio taping method was applied eight times on the suprahyoid muscles and the checklist and scales were re-applied. Results: There was a statistically significant decrease in the parameters used to assess the sialorrhea, among them: the number of towels used to wipe the saliva, frequency scale scores and severity scale scores. Conclusion: We conclude the Kinesio taping method is effective in improving the control of saliva deglutition in children with CP.
