Integrated Neuropsychological and Ayurvedic Management of Developmental Stuttering: A Multi-Modal Clinical Framework

Author(s) Dr. Mahesh Kumar Sharma
Country India
Abstract Developmental stuttering is a multifactorial neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by involuntary disruptions in speech fluency, affecting approximately 1% of the global population. Conventional management primarily emphasizes behavioural speech therapy, yet emerging evidence highlights the involvement of neurophysiological dysregulation, emotional processing abnormalities, and psychosocial burden. Simultaneously, Ayurveda conceptualizes stuttering (Gadgada/Vak-Sanga) as a Vata-dominant disorder involving obstruction of Udana Vata within the Vak Srotas. This review-based integrative research paper synthesizes modern neuropsychological evidence with Ayurvedic therapeutic principles to propose a comprehensive clinical management protocol for developmental stuttering. Contemporary literature regarding sensory feedback dysfunction, basal ganglia abnormalities, pharmacological adjuncts, executive dysfunction, psychophysiological stress, and AI-assisted assessment has been integrated with Ayurvedic interventions including Vagshudhikar Yoga, Nasya Karma, and Pranayama. The proposed model advocates multidimensional assessment using SSI-4, OASES, RCADS, and temperament profiling, combined with individualized behavioural and Ayurvedic interventions. The integrative framework aims not merely at fluency enhancement but at restoration of psychosocial confidence, autonomic regulation, and long-term communicative participation. Future randomized controlled studies are necessary to validate efficacy, safety, and translational applicability of this interdisciplinary approach. (Bradshaw et.al 2021)
