Study Summary
This trial will compare speech patterns of children who stutter with those of fluent peers, to better understand the development of stuttering.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for preschool-age children who stutter but do not have other speech-language disorders, neurological diseases, or oral-facial structural abnormalities like cleft lip/palate. They should be primarily English speakers with normal hearing and vision (with glasses if needed), and not on medications affecting neural functions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how viewing pictures that are emotionally charged (negative) versus neutral affects speech motor control in children who stutter compared to those who don't. It aims to understand the interaction between emotion and speech variability in early childhood stuttering.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive procedures such as speaking after viewing images, there are no direct medical side effects expected from participating in this research.

Frequently Asked Questions
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.
Could individuals below 35 years of age partake in this clinical exploration?
"To be included in this research, the patient's age must fall between 3 and 10 years old. Additionally, there are 6 sub-studies for patients under 18 and 3 additional studies open to individuals over 65."
Answered by AI
How many participants are being admitted to this research program?
"Affirmative. According to clinicaltrials.gov, the trial was launched on May 21st 2021 and updated as recently as April 5th 2022. The experiment is looking for 50 volunteers at a single medical centre."
Answered by AI
What primary aim is this clinical trial attempting to achieve?
"The primary endpoint of this trial, which is expected to last approximately three weeks, will be the spatiotemporal index (STI) of lip aperture during a negative valence condition on Day 1. Secondary outcome metrics include respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), number of phasic skin conductance responses elicited by picture presentations, and executive function composite score measured through the NIH Toolbox Early Childhood Cognition Battery."
Answered by AI
Are there any patients currently being sought out to participate in this experiment?
"According to clinicialtrials.gov, this trial is in operation and accepting patients since its launch on May 21st 2021, the last time it was updated being April 5th 2022."
Answered by AI

Why did patients apply to this trial?
Ho notato che i farmaci non danno nessun beneficio. Almeno quelli che ho provato io. Danno solo effetti collaterali o nessun effetto. Vorrei provare terapie che vanno a stimolare la zona interessata della parola.
