Summary

The proposed study aims to investigate the effect of combined transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and behavioural speech training in improving speech fluency in Cantonese-speaking adults who stutter (AWS), and to examine its maintenance over a 6-week period.

Conditions

  • Stuttering, Adult
  • Stammering

Interventions

DEVICE

Active-tDCS

Active-tDCS (1 mA) over the supplementary motor area (SMA) for 5 sessions (20 minutes per session, weekly), along with behavioural therapy of speaking tasks (i.e., story narration and conversation) using the minimum prolongation technique based on the Camperdown Program.

DEVICE

Sham-tDCS

Sham-tDCS (1 mA) over the supplementary motor area (SMA) for 5 sessions (one minutes per session, weekly), along with behavioural therapy of speaking tasks (i.e., story narration and conversation) using the minimum prolongation technique based on the Camperdown Program. Participants will receive initial stimulation for one minute, eliciting a tingling sensation on the scalp then it will be discontinued.
