Brain study of speech in adults who stutter
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You currently stutter.
- English is your primary language.
- You do not have any serious medical or neurological conditions (like stroke, brain injury, or Parkinson's).
- You do not have metal or electronic implants (like a pacemaker) and are not pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 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 imaging and stimulation to understand how people who stutter process speech sounds. It may help explain why stuttering happens and guide future treatments.
