This study compared two treatments for drooling in children with cerebral palsy: Botox injections into the salivary glands and scopolamine skin patches. Both groups also received rehabilitation therapy. The goal was to see which treatment reduced drooling more over 15 months. The…

This study tested whether two gut hormones, GIP and GLP-2, could reduce bone breakdown in children with spinal muscular atrophy, cerebral palsy, or Duchenne muscular dystrophy who use wheelchairs. Participants received a liquid meal and then either a hormone injection or a placeb…
