“…The results indicated a remarkable decline in stuttering and rise in fluency of the patient. The result also established the fact that the fluency shaping therapy was instrumental in curing stuttering 1 . The FST improves bad feelings, obstructive attitudes or stuttering related nervousness in stuttering patients 15,16 .…”

Background: The stuttering is manifested by disruption in normal speech flow and fluency that also disturbs social and emotional wellbeing. There is immediate need of rehabilitation for the improvement of fluency and reduce the severity of stuttering.Objective:To compare the digital manipulation of thyroid cartilage (DMTC), fluency shaping therapy (FST) and combination of DMTC and FST for improving severity in stuttering patients. Material and Method: A randomized clinical trial was conducted at National Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine. The patients were enrolled through non-probability, convenient sampling technique. The participants were randomly allocated into three equal groups (n=10): DMTC group, FST group and combination of both. The Scale of Rating Severity of Stuttering (SRSS) was used to assess the severity level at baseline, 2ndweek, 4thweek, 8thweek and 12thweek of intervention.Results: The mean age of DMTC, FST and combination group was, 22.25 ±3.33 years, 21.65±3.36 and 21.35±3.76 years respectively. Friedman with post hoc test revealed significant improvement (p<0.05) in all groups but combination group had showed better outcome than single DMTC and FST intervention. A Kruskal-Wallis H test showed that there was no significant difference (p≥0.05) among DMTC, FST and Combination group from baseline to 8thweeks of training, but significant difference {X2(2) =5.897, p<0.014} was observed after 12thweek of training among the groups. The post hoc test showed that the combination group was more significantly improved as compared to DMTC group {MR=9.10 ver. MR=17.71, p=0.012} but not significant difference between difference between combination and FST group (p=0.317) as well as DMTC and FST group (p=0.619) regarding severity of stuttering. Conclusion: It is concluded that combination of digital manipulation of thyroid cartilage and fluency shaping therapy were more beneficial for improving fluency in stuttering patients. Key words:Digital manipulationtherapy,fluency shaping therapy, stammering, stuttering.

“…The pathophysiology and etiology of the stuttering is still poorly defined. It is assumed that the speech characteristics of stuttering is the result of atypical mechanism of brain occurred due to genetics and environmental variables 1 . It usually presents with repetitions, speech block and prolongation of sounds and syllables.…”

“…In a similar study, fluency shaping techniques were suggested as an effective technique for people with stuttering. By employing gentle contact of articulators, slow and prolonged speed of speech, extending and exaggerating all syllables in expression, and easy and light beginning of phonation, were proved to be effective in reducing stuttering severity 18 . The present study results showed the comparison of Easy onset and Pantomiming treatment on blocking in stammering.…”

Background: Stammering is a speech fluency disorder categorized by repetitions, prolongations and blocks that interrupt the normal flow and forward movement of speech. The Fluency shaping techniques including Easy Onset and Pantomiming treatment are commonly used techniques for the management of stuttering. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of Pantomiming and easy onset method for the treatment of blocks in stammering in school aged children. Material & Method: A randomized control trial (NCT04813588) was conducted in hospitals of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The Convenient sampling technique was used for data collection from National Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine (NIRM). The sample size was n=16, randomly divided in Easy onset (n=8) and Pantomiming (n=8) through lottery method. The schools going children and adolescent between 6-18 years of both genders with mild to moderate stammering with blocking symptoms were included. The severity of stuttering was assessed with real time analysis of speech fluency. The data was analysed at the baseline and after three months of intervention. The non-parametric tests were applied for within and between group analyses. Results: The mean age of the participants was 10.38±5.290 years. A total n=11 were males and n=5 were females. When compared both groups, there was no significant difference between Easy onset and Pantomiming technique {MR=9 vs MR=8, U=28, p=0.535} in the management of stuttering after three months of intervention. Conclusion: The easy onset and pantomiming techniques are equally effective in improving the blocking in stuttering. Keywords: Blocks, easy onset, fluency shaping, pantomiming, speech therapy, stammering, stuttering

“…Some studies, including those that were excluded from the review, disregarded this upper boundary of preschool children who stutter. For example, Rifaie et al [54] determined the age range between 4 and 7.5 years, Simonska [45] between 3.2 and 6.9 years, and Abou El-Ella et al [55] between 3 and 8 years. To understand clinical implications and draw strong conclusions, it is important to study a single population with standardized age ranges, especially when designing experimental studies.…”

Background: The Lidcombe Program is a stuttering treatment approach for children between the ages of 3 and 6 years. Most papers about the Lidcombe Program, however, are based on studies conducted in native English-speaking countries. The aim of this paper is to systematically review the delivery and implementation of the Lidcombe Program in non-native English-speaking countries. Summary: A resource search was conducted between October and November 2019. Scopus, PubMed, ASHA, Cochrane Library, ERIC, Google Scholar, and SpeechBITE databases and reference lists of relevant papers were searched for the identification process. Joanna Briggs Institute tools were used for the appraisal of the studies. The search yielded 8 studies conducted in non-native English-speaking countries. The Lidcombe Program is efficacious in non-native English-speaking countries when delivered to both preschool and young school age children who stutter. It is reported to be delivered with minor changes and challenges. The number of weekly clinic visits and the total time needed to reach zero or near-zero stuttering levels with the Lidcombe Program can be up to 3 times greater in non-native English-speaking countries than in native English-speaking countries, mostly due to the increased time needed to introduce the parental verbal contingencies. Key Messages: Speech and language therapists practicing in non-native English-speaking countries are encouraged to use the Lidcombe Program for both preschool and young school age children who stutter, although this can take more time than that reported in native English-speaking countries. Further investigation to explore the therapy process with children and parents in non-native English-speaking countries is needed.
