NCT ID NCT04323488
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how a specific reading program, called Seeing Stars, affects the brains of 90 children with dyslexia. Researchers used brain scans to measure changes in white matter and a region linked to word recognition. The goal was to understand why some children improve more than others, which could lead to more personalized dyslexia treatments in the future.
