| Abstract: | Studied the applicability and effectiveness of pranayama and savasna (Indian techniques of regulated breathing and relaxation) in the treatment of 10 male stutterers (mean age 19 yrs). The baseline of stuttering was determined, and Ss were asked to keep a record of stuttering episodes during the entire treatment. Results indicate that 90% of the Ss showed improvement in their stuttering; their frequency of stuttering decreased considerably by the end of the treatment and was maintained at 6 mo follow-up.
