Studying brain connectivity and timing in stuttering and nonstuttering teens
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your child) speak English as your main language
- You either currently stutter or have a past stuttering diagnosis, or you do not stutter
- If you stutter: you should not have other neurological or psychiatric conditions that are being diagnosed or treated
- You should not have had head injury with loss of consciousness
- You should not have a major medical illness or significant hearing/language or movement delays

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
