Two Cases of Stuttering Responsive to Benzodiazepine-Based Anxiolytics and Stellate Ganglion Block Therapy

Authors: Toshiro Takami

We report two cases of stuttering that responded temporarily but dramatically to benzodiazepine-based anxiolytics and stellate ganglion block therapy.The patients were a 13-year-old male and a 22-year-old male. In both cases, benzodiazepine-derived anxiolytics were discontinued due to their habit-forming nature. One patient continues to take escitalopram 10 mg/day, while the other is currently under observation with stellate ganglion block therapy alone. These two cases suggest that stuttering can be caused by strong anxiety and tension.
