Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to study how a part of the brain called the supplementary motor area (SMA) is connected to speech and reading fluency in adults who stutter. Researchers will use a method called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to learn more about this relationship. The main question it aims to answer is:

-Will participants' speech and reading fluency improve when we stimulate the SMA with rTMS?

Participants will take part in both placebo rTMS and real rTMS sessions.

Participants will:

* Come to the research center for 2 days, with at least a one-week break between visits
* Read 4 passages and speak on 4 topics
* Be video recorded while doing these tasks

Conditions

  • Stuttering, Adult

Interventions

OTHER

Brain stimulation

Participants will be included in the real and sham rTMS. Participants will perform speech and reading tasks before and after stimulation.
