Study of stuttering in children and adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a child age 2 to 17 with stuttering concerns, or be an adult age 18+ who stutters
- A parent/caregiver (for children) or you (for adults) must report that you stutter
- Have speech that shows at least 3 stuttering-like moments in a 300-word speech sample
- Or have an SSI-4 stuttering severity score of 11 or higher
- For adults: have a formal stuttering diagnosis from a certified speech-language pathologist

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 looks at how adults who stutter process information and react to different situations. It may help researchers understand the thinking patterns linked to stuttering.
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 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.
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 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.
