Brain stimulation with reading and motor training for 9-year-old boys with dyslexia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is a boy, age 9 years (from 9 years 0 months to 9 years 11 months).
- Your child has been diagnosed with dyslexia by a doctor or specialist.
- Your child has below-average reading skills, confirmed by a specific reading test.
- Your child has average or above-average intelligence (IQ score of 85 or higher).
- Your child has some difficulty with fine motor skills, like using hands or coordinating arm movements.
- Your child has no history of seizures, epilepsy, or metal implants in the head, and no skin problems on the scalp.

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 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 study tests a combination of brain stimulation and movement training to see if it can improve muscle control and brain activity in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It may help children move better and improve their quality of life.
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.
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.
