Scientists scan brains to unlock the mystery of stuttering

NCT ID NCT05437159

Summary

This study aims to understand how the brain plans and starts speech, and how this process is different in people who stutter or have a neurodegenerative language disorder called primary progressive aphasia. Researchers will use brain scans (fMRI) and non-invasive brain stimulation on a small group of participants, including adults and children, to measure brain activity and speech patterns. The goal is to gather knowledge that could one day lead to better therapies, but this study itself does not test a treatment.
