Effect of Stuttering Remediation Exercises on Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Developmental Stuttering; Evoked Potentials Auditory
• Interventions: Behavioral: Fluency shaping exercises

• Registration Number: NCT05473572
• Lead Sponsor: Alaa Mamdouh

Brief Summary

studying how the cortical auditory evoked potentials differ in children who stutter from who do not stutter and how these potentials change with therapy

Detailed Description

Measuring amplitude and latency of P1, N1, P2 N2 between a group with developmental stuttering and a control group with no stuttering at baseline. Recording the potentials through passive listening to a 60dB stimulus and active speaking, describing pictures and rapid naming.

Assigning the group with stuttering to remediation exercises using fluency shaping program for 2 to 4 months then remeasuring amplitude and latency of the previously mentioned potentials.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Children who stutter	Fluency shaping exercises	Measuring stuttering severity and cortical auditory evoked potentials in a group of children who stutter then they will receive fluency shaping exercises for a period range from 2-4 months. Reassessment of cortical auditory evoked potentials and stuttering severity after the specified period

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in latency of cortical auditory evoked potentials in children with stuttering due to stuttering intervention program	immediately after intervention	Measuring latency in millisecond of P1, N1 in the group who stutter after intervention using the commercial system (Interacoustic Eclipse TM) device during passive listening to a 60dB auditory stimulus and active speaking conditions
Change in amplitude of cortical auditory evoked potentials in children with stuttering due to stuttering intervention program	immediately after intervention	Measuring amplitude in microvolt of P1, N1 in the group who stutter after intervention using the commercial system (Interacoustic Eclipse TM) device during passive listening to a 60dB auditory stimulus and active speaking conditions
Difference in amplitude of cortical auditory evoked potentials in children with stuttering compared to children who do do not stutter	baseline: before intervention	Measuring amplitude in microvolt of P1, N1 using the commercial system (Interacoustic Eclipse TM)
Difference in latency of cortical auditory evoked potentials in children with stuttering compared to children who do do not stutter	baseline: before intervention	Measuring latency in millisecond of P1, N1 using the commercial system (Interacoustic Eclipse TM) device during passive listening to a 60dB auditory stimulus and active speaking conditions
