No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if repeated transcranial magnetic stimuli (rTMS) can treat stuttering in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Will there be changes in the brains of people who stutter because of the treatment?
* Will any changes in the brain result in less stuttering?

Participants will:

* Visit the lab 3 times before treatment for tests
* Complete 10 rTMS sessions
* Visit the lab 2 times after treatment for tests

Conditions

  • Stuttering, Adult

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

This study uses Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) applied to specific speech and motor areas of the brain to stimulate cortical areas that experience reduced activations during left-hemisphere dominant tasks in people who stutter.
