| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: EVALUATE THE SAFETY AND EFFICAY OF BOTULINUM TOXIN TYPE -A AS A TREATMENT FOR DECREASE DROOLING IN PATIENTS WITH CEREBRAL PASY AND DETERMINATE THE SALIVARY FLOW ML/MIN.;Secondary Objective: ASSESS AT WHAT PERIOD OF TIME AFTER INFILTRATION OCCURS THE MAXIMUM RESPONSE OF BOTULINUM NEUROTOXIN TYPE-A IN DECREASED DROOLING. EVALUATE THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF BOTULINUM NEUROTOXIN TYPE-A IN SALIVARY GLANDS. ASSESS WHETER THE BOTULINUM TOXIN TYPE-A MAY REDUCE THE VOLUME OF DROOLING WITHOUT ALTERING THE SWALLOWING FUNCTION.;Primary end point(s): Efficacy Evaluate: Decrease of salivary flow expressed in ml/min before and after infiltration,will be considered the proportion of patients showing a decrease of 25% of salivary secretion. Safety Evaluate: The proportion of patients with a good response according to the criteria defined response during treatment or follow-up. Good response: If the patients register a proportion of adeverse events not more than usual due to underlying pathology. - Low/ non response. Register a high proportion of adverse events more than usual.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Average time of evaluation every 4 weeks after first infiltration, allowed a washout period. The second infiltration evaluation every 4 weeks untill complete one year of follow-up. | — |

| Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Average time of evaluation every 4 weeks after first infiltration, allowed a washout period. The second infiltration evaluation every 4 weeks untill complete one year of follow-up.;Secondary end point(s): Salivary flow expressed in ml/min evaluated in different subtypes of cerebral palsy compared with healthy volunteers salivary flow. To assess wheter patients with cerebral palsy have hypersalivation or oral motor dysfunction. Assess wheter the Botulinum Toxin Type A reduce the volume of drooling without altering the swallowing function | — |
