NCT ID NCT04762368
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation, called a-tDCS, can make reading training more effective for people with age-related or juvenile macular degeneration. About 30 participants will do six reading training sessions while receiving either real or fake stimulation. The goal is to see if the combination improves reading speed and sharpness more than training alone.
