Brain stimulation with reading and motor training for dyslexia in boys
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be a boy aged exactly 9 years old.
- He must have a formal diagnosis of dyslexia and severe reading difficulties.
- His overall intelligence (IQ) must be average or above average (IQ 85 or higher).
- He must also have fine motor coordination problems, like difficulty with hand skills.
- He must not have other conditions like ADHD, autism, or severe anxiety that need ongoing treatment.
- He must not have any history of seizures, epilepsy, or metal implants in the head.

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.
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 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 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.
