Exploring the Desert of Stuttering: Paroxetine as a Potential Treatment

Stuttering is a complex speech disorder, and finding effective treatments can be challenging. This study investigates the efficacy of paroxetine in managing stuttering symptoms. The authors conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, finding that paroxetine did not affect the frequency of stuttered words but significantly reduced stuttering-associated movements.

A New Oasis in the Desert of Stuttering: Paroxetine's Potential

While paroxetine did not reduce the frequency of stuttered words, it showed a significant effect on reducing stuttering-associated movements. This finding suggests that paroxetine could be a valuable tool for managing certain aspects of stuttering. Further research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and limitations of paroxetine in treating stuttering.
