Brain stimulation with reading help for children with dyslexia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 7 and 17 years old.
- Your child has dyslexia or reading difficulties that make them behind grade level; a formal diagnosis is not needed.
- Your child is currently getting or can get structured reading instruction during the trial.
- A parent or guardian can give permission, and your child is willing to take part.
- Your child does not have epilepsy, seizures, skin issues at the electrode sites, or implanted electronic devices that could be affected.

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 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 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.
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 trial tests if mild electrical stimulation applied to the head (tDCS) can help children with autism. Your child must be enrolled in ABA therapy and be off certain medications to join.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help children with autism spectrum disorder. The goal is to see if this non-invasive brain stimulation can improve symptoms.
