Filter by:The goal of the proposed project is to test the effectiveness of a novel hybrid approach to treatment of reading disorders after stroke, in which exercise training will be used in combination with a targeted reading treatment. This approach is expected to increase cerebral circulation and help to rebuild and strengthen the damaged phonological neural networks. Through this combinatory approach, the study aims to enhance the reading and language improvements seen with existing treatments.
This is a pilot study to establish feasibility of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) for improving letter-learning in adolescents with dyslexia. The main goals of the study are to 1) evaluate whether children in this age range will tolerate low level stimulation over the course of multiple sessions, 2) determine whether low level taVNS improves novel letter learning in dyslexia, and 3) evaluate the effect of low level taVNS on the brain's response to letters. Participants will complete fMRI before training, immediately after training, and a few weeks after training ends. Training will consist of six 30-minute lessons during which participants will learn novel letter-sound relationships while receiving either active or sham taVNS. Researchers will compare stimulation conditions to determine effect of this device on learning and neural plasticity.
Dyslexia is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. In France, dyslexia is a public health disorder. Dyslexia is a real public health problem in France, affecting 6% of the general population. However, no clinical trial of a standardized rehabilitation has shown an impact on reading fluency. In the era of intensive rehabilitation, a new protocol based on the current data from the medical literature has been designed.
The study aims at testing a Neurofeedback (NF) training specifically designed for inducing a functional hemispheric imbalance of the tempo-parietal regions in individuals with dyslexia. A randomized clinical trial aimed at comparing two experimental conditions is described: a) Left theta/beta NF training in combination with right beta/theta NF training and b) sham NF training.
The study aims to document the effectiveness and acceptability of the intervention system for specific reading and writing disorders, in use at Scientific Institute (IRCCS) Medea, as applied and adapted to a different clinical context and socio-demographic situation. To this purpose, two groups of children will be recruited and treated in two different contexts, and treatment outcomes will be compared. The first one is the centre where the Tachidino platform has been developed and validated, the second one is a different centre, in a different geographical region where lower digital alphabetization may be a disadvantaging factor, but lower population density and the presence of fewer centres for assessment and intervention for learning disorders make remotely monitored protocols even more valuable.
