Stuttering Cures
By Jan Hartman
Stuttering Cure #1: Speech Therapy
Speech therapy treatment and speech language pathology is a
route chosen by many to treat and cure their stutter. With
speech therapy the affected person sees a speech therapist
several times a week for as long a time as necessary practice
exercises and learn how to speak without stuttering. Speech
therapy treatment is a viable stuttering cure, and has been
proven to be successful at decreasing a stutter. The major
drawback being it is time intensive and costly.
Stuttering Cure #2: Hypnosis
Hypnotherapy has been found to be an effective stuttering cure
for some. Hypnotherapy as a stuttering cure can train the
subconcious mind to not not trip up and hang up on the words
that commonly cause you to stutter.
Stuttering Cure #3: Social and Physical Trigger Identification
A typical feature of many learn at your own pace stop
stuttering solutions is to recognize the physical and social
triggers that cause you stuttering. If you identify exactly what
activates your stutter you can practice avoidance techniques and
essentially bypass your natural tendency to stutter. This method
is acknowledged as an effective stuttering cure since they work
on treating the cause behind the stuttering as opposed to
concentrating on the stutter itself.
Stuttering Cure #4: Breathing and Visualization Techniques
Breathing and visualization exercises focus on the root cause
of your stuttering and with practice relieve many of the
stresses and physical/social factors that cause you to stutter.
This type of treatment is considered to be an effective
stuttering cure since this type of treatment reduces or cures
your stutter
completely.
Stuttering Cure #5: Medication
Adults can take medicine to help reduce stuttering which is
better known as dopamine antagonist medications. The problem
with using them is that there are severe side effects and it
reduces stuttering by only 50%. The effects of long-term use for
stuttering and drugs for a cure are unknown.
The drugs that fall under the classification are Haldol,
Risperdal, Zyprexa, Pimozide and Tiapride. These drugs must be
used with a doctor’s supervision, of course.
However, a new medication, called Pagoclone, holds great
promise as a potent, well-tolerated medication for treating
stuttering. Pagoclone impacts a neurochemical in the brain known
as GABA . GABA is believed to play a significant role in
stuttering. In studies done, Pagoclone was found to improve
stuttering symptoms in over 50 percent of the individuals
treated. Pagoclone was found to be easily tolerated. The only
side affects were headache and fatigue, which were reported by a
minority of those treated.
Researchers believe there are a variety of causes of
stuttering. The most freaquently seen cause of stuttering is in
young children who are in the process of developing speech. This
type of stuttering is usually outgrown.
Another cause of stuttering is a neurogenic ailment caused by
signaling disruptions between the brain and the nerves and
muscles used for forming speech. Neurogenic stuttering may
develop because of a stroke or other type of brain injury.
Other forms of stuttering are psychogenic, caused by the mental
activity of the brain. At one time it was thought that
stuttering was mostly psychogenic, brought on by emotional
traumas and problems, but it is now known that this is true only
in a small number of cases. Psychogenic stuttering can occur in
a person who has experienced some ordeal or severe stress. The
stutterer may develop emotional problems and fears surrounding
speech as a result of his stuttering.
Researchers know that stuttering can run in families and it may
have a genetic component. No gene has been isolated yet that
causes stuttering.
About the Author: Stuttering is a speech disorder characterized
by the abnormal flow of speech. Speech is broken up by frequent
repetitions or by dragging out speech sounds, and a person's
