First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation technique called HD-tDCS can reduce stuttering symptoms like repetitions and blocks. Fifty adults who stutter will receive a single session of stimulation and complete speaking tasks before and after. The goal is to see if targeting specific brain areas can improve fluency and guide future treatments.
