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 trial tests if virtual reality can help higher education students improve their public speaking skills. You'll use a VR program to practice speaking in front of an audience, which may reduce anxiety and improve your confidence.
This study checks whether a virtual reality (VR) version of a speech-language therapy program is practical and works the way it should. You might benefit by getting speech therapy in a new, technology-based format, and helping researchers confirm it is safe and feasible.
