Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to see whether participants with persistent developmental disfluency who report fluctuational disfluency due to vocal cord tension on a day to day basis of can achieve a more normalized fluency by identifying dietary allergen responses and subsequently eliminating these dietary triggers from their daily consumption.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Dietary Factors and Disfluency: Variations in Severity of Vocal Cord tension	Initial fluency samples are taken prior to treatment protocol of study.; Food sensitivity panel will be assessed for potential allergans. Allergan responses are graded from 0 being no response to food allergen to 3 being the strongest response and subsequent removal of sensitive allergan from diet. Speech sample and disfluency severity will be evaluated qualitatively again via the SSI-3 on repeat office visit at fixed interval scale. Erickson S-24 repeated at end of study and final conclusions made.	1 Year
