I wonder why there's no reference at all to drug therapies / pharmacological remedies in this conference - at least none that I can find. Obviously there is as yet no "magic pill" for stuttering. But there is certainly some activity in this realm, notably Jerry Maguire's work and the pagoclone trials. Can you help me contextualize this type of therapy for stuttering? How does the SLP community regard the attempts to find drug therapies? Are drug therapies considered fringe therapies, outside of the mainstream? Is there any reason for optimism that drug therapies will eventually be successful?
