Tony, Bill Parry had an article "Stuttering and the valsalva mechanism: A hypothesis in need of investigation" published in the Journal of Fluency Disorders in December 1985 (pages 317-324). I can find no evidence that there has been a response to his call for research about the relationship of the valsalva mechanism as it relates to stuttering. Parry has recently completed a master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology. I don't know if he has done any research into his hypothesis during his MA program or since. You might try to contact him through his website and ask him.
