Effect of Stuttering Remediation Exercises on Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials

The Effect of Stuttering Remediation Exercises on Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials in School Age Children Who Stutter

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

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.

Inclusion criteria:

• Patients with developmental stuttering
• Normal hearing and vision.
• Adequate language for age.

Exclusion criteria:

• Known history of epileptic fits.
• Intellectual disability and other neurological deficits.
• Cluttering
