Ultrasound brain stimulation for persistent stuttering
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have normal language, hearing, and thinking skills.
- You speak English as your main language.
- You currently stutter.
- Your stuttering is at least 'very mild' on a standard test or you stutter on more than 3% of syllables in a speech sample.
- You have not had any stuttering treatment in the last year.

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 uses a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can reduce speech errors in adults who have stuttered since childhood. If you are 22 or older, speak English as your main language, and have developmental stuttering, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether focused ultrasound waves directed at the brain can help reduce schizophrenia symptoms. If it works, it could offer a new treatment option for people whose symptoms aren't fully controlled by medication alone.
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 trial tests whether low-intensity ultrasound waves aimed at specific brain areas can reduce tics in people with Tourette syndrome. It's a first-in-human study to see if this non-invasive approach is safe and effective.
This study tests a new non-invasive therapy using low-intensity focused ultrasound to stimulate the brain area affected by a stroke, which may help improve arm weakness in people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago.
