Fluoxetine for Persistent Developmental Stuttering

Clinical Neuropharmacology, 2007
Stuttering is a disturbance in the normal fluency and time patterning of speech. Developmental stuttering (DS), with or without associated psychiatric illness, is the most common form and includes all cases with gradual onset in childhood that are not the result of acquired brain damage.

Neurogenic stuttering versus developmental stuttering: An observer's judgement study

Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2000
It has been claimed by some but rejected by others that neurogenic stuttering has unique features that distinguish this type of dysfluency from developmental stuttering. An experiment is reported in which a panel of professionals was presented at random speech samples from four developmental and four neurogenic stutterers and was asked to classify them

Developmental Stuttering

Pediatric Annals, 2003
Pediatricians often are the first health care professional parents turn to when they are concerned their child may be stuttering. At this point, the pediatrician can direct parents to a number of available resources for more information and also can provide referral to a speech-language pathologist who has undergone graduate training and received ...

Copper Differences in Egyptian Children with Developmental Stuttering

Egyptian Journal of Ear Nose Throat and Allied Sciences
Background: Many previous studies claimed that people who stutter show a reduced concentration of copper in their blood. There is growing evidence about the effect of copper on basal ganglia and dystonia.

Dysrhythmic Speech Is a Characteristic of Developmental Stuttering in Adults: A Quantitative Analysis Using Duration- and Interval-Based Rhythm Metrics.

Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research
PURPOSE Aberrant speech rhythm has previously been identified as a hallmark of stuttering. However, evidence of dysrhythmic speech in adults who stutter (AWS) has largely been limited to qualitative research.

Copper in Developmental Stuttering

Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica, 2005
It has previously been reported that men with developmental stuttering showed reduced concentration of copper in the blood, and a negative correlation between the copper level and the severity of stuttering. Disorders of copper metabolism may result in dysfunction of the basal ganglia system and dystonia, a motor disorder sharing some traits of ...

Genetic analyses of a large consanguineous south Indian family reveal novel variants in NAGPA and four hitherto unreported genes in developmental stuttering

Annals of Human Genetics
Developmental stuttering, a multifactorial speech disorder with remarkable rate of spontaneous recovery pose challenges for gene discoveries. Exonic variants in GNPTAB, GNPTG, and NAGPA involved in lysosomal pathway and AP4E1, IFNAR1, and ARMC3‐signaling

Regional Cerebral Blood Flow in Developmental Stutterers

Archives of Neurology, 1991
Stuttering is a poorly understood communication disorder with a 1% global prevalence. Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in a neurogenic origin for the disorder, although no research has established clear neurological differences between "developmental" (stuttering onset in childhood) stutterers and nonstutterers.

Jaw-phonatory coordination in chronic developmental stuttering

Journal of Communication Disorders, 2007
A deficiency in sensorimotor integration in a person who stutters may be a factor in the pathophysiology of developmental stuttering. To test oral sensorimotor function in adults who stutter, we used a task that requires the coordination of a jaw-opening movement with phonation onset.

Features Resembling Tourette's Syndrome in Developmental Stutterers

Brain and Language, 1998
Developmental stuttering (DS) may be related to the extrapyramidal motor system and shares many clinical similarities with Tourette's syndrome (TS), which is widely believed to be associated with extrapyramidal dysfunction. Twenty-two stutterers were examined for neuropsychiatric features commonly seen in TS, including tics, obsessive-compulsive ...
