Jan 14, 2018 at 5:26 comment added Sandra It seems to me that the research is very broad at the moment but with no actual causal evidence demonstrating direct, consistent, and sustained influence on stuttering. I would think that the connecting factor would be vagus nerve as it innervates the larynx muscles but is also involved in the sympathetic/parasympathetic regulation? I have not seen research on vagus nerve interventions and its relation to stuttering.

Jan 13, 2018 at 21:42 comment added got trolled too much this week Also asha.org/Events/convention/handouts/2009/1629_Maguire_Gerald mentions that botulinum toxin injections in the larynx were tried, without success, so that make me doubt the muscle-based theories...
Jan 13, 2018 at 21:38 comment added got trolled too much this week But those are mostly open-label and even weaker studies (single case reports etc.) Of the systematic ones, not much works ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22020347

Jan 13, 2018 at 21:24 comment added got trolled too much this week Looking at mnsu.edu/comdis/kuster/journal/osborne5/drugs.ppt which mentions benzos and atypcal antipshychotics, it seems the drug effect is rather non-specifc and perhaps mediated by sedation. I'm surprised nobody tried valproate or some other anti-epileptic for the same reason.
