Brain stimulation study for people who stutter
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current (tACS) applied to the scalp can improve language abilities in people with aphasia after a stroke. Healthy volunteers are also needed as a comparison group.
This trial tests whether gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation (tACS) can improve speech and language (aphasia) after stroke. You may be asked to do language and thinking tests before and after the stimulation to see if it helps.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical current applied to the scalp (tACS) combined with computer-based brain exercises can improve memory and thinking in older adults who have concerns about their cognitive health.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the brain, called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), together with arm rehabilitation can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke over 9 months ago.
