<div> <section> <h3> Background</h3> <p>Stuttering, a neurodevelopmental speech fluency disorder, is associated with intermittent disruptions of speech-motor control.

背景：口吃是一种神经发育性语言流畅性障碍，与语言运动控制的间歇性中断有关。针对成人口吃患者（AWS）的行为治疗集中于采用能提高流利程度的说话模式，例如有节奏地说话或延长说话声音。然而，要保持这些治疗效果可能具有挑战性。神经影像学研究表明，辅助运动区（SMA）在口吃成人的言语表达中显示出异常激活，并可能导致口吃。初步证据表明，脑刺激可能会影响行为治疗的反应性。研究目的：本研究旨在探讨对SMA进行兴奋性重复经颅磁刺激（rTMS）和有节奏的语音是否能持续减轻口吃的严重程度：十名自认为会说粤语的口吃者参加了这项双盲假对照临床试验研究（NCT05472181）。参加者在两个阶段接受了10次有节奏的语言训练，并结合神经导航经颅磁刺激或假性经颅磁刺激，两个阶段之间有2周的缓冲期。口吃严重程度通过各种结果测量进行评估，包括口吃音节百分比、自我感觉口吃严重程度以及每个治疗阶段前后的 "关于口吃的无益想法和信念 "简表：结果表明，在不同的说话环境中，患者的语言流畅性都得到了改善，经颅磁刺激与假性治疗在治疗初期和治疗后一周内无明显差异。值得注意的是，经颅磁刺激特别减少了绕口令的口吃（d = -0.70）。两种治疗条件都有效降低了自我感觉的口吃严重程度以及对口吃的负面想法和信念：本研究结果表明，刺激 SMA 可减少口吃，但仅限于需要更强运动控制和协调能力的绕口令。此外，研究还表明，有节奏的讲话可能有助于减轻与口吃有关的负面信念和焦虑。这项研究有助于我们了解神经调节在口吃治疗中的作用，以及 SMA 在言语运动控制中的作用，并强调有必要对应用经颅磁刺激治疗口吃的潜在益处和局限性进行更多研究：关于该主题的已知知识 对成人口吃患者的行为治疗主要集中在采用提高流利度的说话模式，例如有节奏地说话或延长说话声音。然而，要保持这些治疗效果可能具有挑战性。神经影像学研究表明，语言产生区域（如辅助运动区（SMA））的异常神经激活与口吃有关。SMA 在运动行为的启动、计划和排序方面起着至关重要的作用。初步证据表明，脑刺激（如经颅直流电刺激或经颅磁刺激）可能会影响对行为治疗的反应。本文对现有知识的补充 关于刺激 SMA 对提高口吃患者言语流利性的潜在影响，目前所知有限。现有研究主要包括缺乏适当控制条件或仅涉及单次刺激的单一案例研究。由于研究范围和力度有限，这些研究可能无法提供足够的证据。本研究在现有研究的基础上，探讨了对 SMA 进行多次重复经颅磁刺激，并结合有节奏的讲话，是否能提高口吃成人的讲话流利程度。此外，该研究还探讨了脑刺激方法的局限性，并提出了未来的研究方向。这项研究的潜在或实际临床意义是什么？这项研究表明，只有在需要更强的运动控制和协调能力（如绕口令）的情况下，刺激 SMA 才能减少口吃。此外，研究还表明，使用有节奏的语言有可能减轻与口吃有关的负面信念和焦虑。

<div> <section> <h3> Introduction</h3> <p>There is a substantial discrepancy between international and local prevalence rates for speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) amongst children in New Zealand.
