Using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Treat Stuttering
Modulating Bilateral Cortical Activation In Adults Who Stutter: A Pilot Study
Kansas State University
2 participants
Feb 15, 2026
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if repeated transcranial magnetic stimuli (rTMS) can treat stuttering in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will there be changes in the brains of people who stutter because of the treatment? * Will any changes in the brain result in less stuttering? Participants will: * Visit the lab 3 times before treatment for tests * Complete 10 rTMS sessions * Visit the lab 2 times after treatment for tests
