Brain Stimulation to Improve Reading and Letter Learning
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 35 years old
- You are a native German speaker (including Swiss German) and can follow instructions in this language
- You are right-handed
- You do not have epilepsy, severe migraines, or a history of head/heart surgery
- You can lie still in an MRI scanner without anxiety or physical discomfort, and have no metal implants (piercings, surgical plates, etc.) that cannot be safely removed
- You are not pregnant and willing to take a pregnancy test before the MRI scan

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 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.
This study tests whether combining a gentle brain stimulation technique with structured language-learning sessions can help adults improve their language skills. It might be an option if you are interested in boosting your language learning.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial random noise stimulation can help improve how quickly and accurately you perform language tasks. Researchers will measure your performance on language exercises before and after the stimulation.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can change brain activity in two specific areas of the cerebellum, which is the part of the brain that controls movement and coordination. The results may help in developing treatments for conditions that affect movement.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation with reading and motor training can help improve reading skills in 9-year-old boys with dyslexia. It focuses on children who also have mild motor coordination challenges.
