Recruiting studies
- NCT05908123Recruiting
Study of stuttering in children and adults
This study looks at how stuttering shows up, how severe it is, and possible ways to assess and treat it. It may help by giving you a chance to work with speech specialists and get a structured evaluation.
Austin, TexasAges 2–85 - NCT07180628Recruiting
Brain study of speech in adults who stutter
This study uses brain scans to look at how the brain's speech circuits work in adults who stutter. Researchers hope to better understand the brain activity behind stuttering, which could lead to improved treatments.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–65 - NCT06578416Recruiting
Stuttering development in young children
This study looks at how stuttering develops in young children by comparing kids who stutter with those who don't. It aims to understand the differences to help improve future treatments.
East Lansing, MichiganAges 3–6 - NCT06740968Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for people who stutter
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tACS) can help reduce stuttering. It is for adults who currently stutter and have not had stuttering treatment in the past year.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–65 - NCT07668882Recruiting
Ultrasound brain stimulation for persistent stuttering
This study tests whether low-intensity focused ultrasound can change brain activity linked to stuttering. It may help people who have not had stuttering treatment in the past year.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–65 - NCT05286151Recruiting
Studying brain connectivity and timing in stuttering and nonstuttering teens
This study looks at how brain “networks” connect and how timing works in adolescents who stutter compared with those who don’t. It may help researchers better understand what underlies stuttering and how it differs from typical speech timing.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 9–13 - NCT07215884RecruitingPhase 1
Dopamine and movement in people who stutter
This study looks at how dopamine affects speech and movement in adults who stutter. It may help us understand why stuttering happens.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT07764419Recruiting
Job interview skills program for people who stutter
This study tests a structured program to help young adults who stutter feel more confident and perform better in job interviews. If you stutter and have experience with job interviews, this could help you manage speaking in professional settings.
Ataşehir, IstanbulAges 18–35 - NCT07389694Recruiting
Brain stimulation for stuttering: a TMS study
This study tests whether a non‑invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help reduce stuttering. The trial involves sitting in a chair while a magnetic coil gently stimulates parts of your brain that control speech.
Manhattan, KansasAges 18–65 - NCT07734103RecruitingPhase 2
Lumateperone for Adult Stuttering
This study tests whether the drug lumateperone can help adults with stuttering, a speech disorder that began in childhood. If you have moderate or severe stuttering, this treatment might reduce symptoms.
Costa Mesa, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT05668923Recruiting
Brain-scan study of speech patterns in people who stutter
This study uses MRI to look at brain signals involved in speech fluency. It may help researchers better understand what drives stuttering and how the brain supports fluent speech.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 5–17 - NCT06181149Recruiting
Stuttering and how the brain predicts speech sounds
This study uses brain imaging and stimulation to understand how people who stutter process speech sounds. It may help explain why stuttering happens and guide future treatments.
Tempe, ArizonaAges 3 years+ - NCT06422442Recruiting
Information processing in adults who stutter
This study looks at how adults who stutter process information and react to different situations. It may help researchers understand the thinking patterns linked to stuttering.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18–65 - NCT07222163Recruiting
Stuttering study with brain stimulation
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help reduce stuttering. It involves attending several sessions where you receive either active stimulation or a placebo, while you speak or do tasks.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT07354139Recruiting
Can brain stimulation help adults who stutter speak more fluently?
This study uses a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can reduce speech errors in adults who have stuttered since childhood. If you are 22 or older, speak English as your main language, and have developmental stuttering, you may be able to join.
Richardson, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT07459803Recruiting
Speech motor skills study for neurotypical speakers and those with stuttering or dyslexia
This study looks at how different people control their speech muscles, comparing neurotypical speakers to adults who stutter or have dyslexia. It could help us understand why some people have trouble producing fluent speech.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–50 - NCT06809387Enrolling by invitation
Magnetic brain stimulation for stuttering and reading in adults
This study tests whether a gentle magnetic stimulation technique called rTMS can help improve speech and reading fluency in adults who have stuttered since childhood. It aims to understand how a brain area involved in movement planning might play a role in stuttering.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stuttering?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 17 recruiting stuttering studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a stuttering trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a stuttering trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
