Ohh! Little late to the party but meeeee! I developed a neurogenic stutter after a head injury earlier this year. They don’t know when it’ll go away, if it’ll go away, or why it appeared, but they know it’s related to my head trauma. The stutter appeared within 30 minutes of the concussion and currently is ranked “moderate” in terms of fluency levels. It’s progressed down from a ranking of “severe”, though the disfluencies, elongations, and blocks haven’t reduced at all, through speech therapy I’ve been able to reduce the amount of time it takes to overcome the elongations and blocks. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this too, do you have any recommendations for people even studying neurogenic stutters? The only people I’ve been referred to were at Mayo and I live in the PNW.
