Abstract
This scientific commentary refers to ‘Transcranial direct current stimulation over left inferior frontal cortex improves speech fluency in adults who stutter’, by Chesters et al. (doi: 10.1093/brain/awy011 ).
Highlights
This scientific commentary refers to ‘Transcranial direct current stimulation over left inferior frontal cortex improves speech fluency in adults who stutter’, by Chesters et al
In this issue of Brain, Chesters and co-workers examine whether application of transcranial direct current stimulation concurrent with fluency training can improve speech fluency in people who stutter (Chesters et al, 2018)
In a double-blind randomized controlled trial, 30 people who stutter underwent fluency training while receiving either anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) delivered over the left frontal cortices for 5 days (1 mA for 20 min/day), or sham stimulation
