NCT ID NCT05668923
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how children who stutter process speech sounds compared to children who do not stutter. Researchers will use hearing tests, brain wave recordings (EEG), and brain scans (fMRI) to measure brain activity. The goal is to understand the differences in speech processing, which may help develop better treatments in the future. The study involves 600 children aged 6-18 who speak English as their primary language.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this research could reveal how the brain processes speech differently in children who stutter, potentially guiding future therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead directly to new therapies, and results may not apply to all children who stutter.
