Brain stimulation to improve reading in dyslexia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a specific kind of brain stimulation can improve reading skills and reading-related abilities in children and teens with dyslexia. It may help by strengthening brain systems involved in reading accuracy and speed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You speak Italian and are a right-handed child or teen with dyslexia
- Your school reading is clearly below expected levels (at least 2 standard deviations below average)
- Your nonverbal thinking skills (nv IQ) are 85 or higher
- You have normal hearing and normal vision, or vision can be corrected (glasses/contacts)
- You do not have another main brain/mental condition like depression, anxiety, autism, or ADHD

This study combines a non-invasive brain stimulation technique with reading and motor exercises to see if it can improve reading and motor skills in 9-year-old boys with dyslexia and fine motor difficulties. It may help if your child struggles with reading and coordination.
This study tests whether pairing a gentle brain stimulation technique with structured reading instruction can improve reading skills in children with dyslexia. It aims to find a new way to support reading development.
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help improve how your brain learns letters and sounds, and how well you read. You'll receive mild electrical stimulation to your scalp while learning letter-sound pairs, and researchers will use MRI scans to see how your brain responds.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome improve their language skills. It aims to see if this safe method can boost word-finding and speaking ability.
This study tests whether a safe, non-drug brain stimulation approach can help adults better understand what they read. It aims to see if the treatment improves reading comprehension and related thinking skills.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called theta-burst stimulation to understand how it affects reading and language networks. It may help researchers learn more about how the brain processes reading in healthy young adults.
