An Investigation of the Effect of 5 Consecutive Days of Bihemispheric TDCS on Speech Fluency in Individuals With Stuttering
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Transcranial direct current stimulation for Stuttering, Adult. Completed, enrolled 36 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
It will be determined whether bihemispheric stimulation (anodal to the left IFG and cathodal to the right IFG) is used with fluency-facilitating conditions for 5 consecutive days in individuals with stuttering and whether there is a difference in terms of the effects seen in speech fluency compared to the sham condition.
