In your own thoughts, can neuroplastic pain result in stuttering? Neuroplastic pain is: * generated real pain even in the absence of injury or tension * caused by being in a state of high alert, changing the way we perceive triggers (because of worrying, self-criticism, or putting pressure on ourselves, such as, too high demands) * is kept alive by (1) fear of the pain itself, (2) blaming wrong factors, or (3) self-imposing too high demands (perceived conflict) * associated with a pain-fear cycle: Pain -> Fear -> Inactivity + Compensatory actions (avoidance, hypervigilance) * a conditioned response ​ **Question: Could neuroplastic pain underlie the primary mechanism of stuttering, in your opinion?** [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/188usbv)
