Magnetic brain stimulation for stuttering and reading in adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You have stuttering that started in childhood (developmental stuttering)
- You are right-handed
- No metal implants in your head, such as surgical clips or coils
- No other speech problems besides stuttering, and no history of seizures, brain lesions, or certain medical conditions

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 a form of brain stimulation (TMS) in people who had a stroke affecting the left side of the brain. It aims to understand whether stimulation can help with language processing tasks at least a month after stroke.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help people regain language skills after a left-sided stroke, particularly for word-finding and meaning difficulties. Researchers will target specific brain regions to see if stimulation improves recovery.
This study tests whether targeted magnetic stimulation to the brain can help improve language and speech in people with primary progressive aphasia. It compares the effects of real stimulation versus a placebo to see if it is a safe and useful treatment.
