Developmental Stuttering, Evoked Potentials Auditory
Conditions
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.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALFluency shaping exercises
Training for prolonged speech, easy onset, light contact and abdominal breathing moving from the level of single words till using short sentences describing pictures

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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) |
| 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 |
