What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study used a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS to temporarily quiet a part of the brain involved in language processing. Researchers then tested how well 42 older youth with dyslexia learned and remembered made-up spoken words. The goal was to understand the brain's role in word learning, which could eventually lead to better educational or therapeutic approaches.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help researchers understand how the brain learns new words, potentially pointing toward better learning strategies for people with dyslexia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 42 participants. It is designed to test a theory, not to provide a treatment, so results may not lead to immediate practical benefits.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

42 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Jan 2024

Finished

Jan 2026

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

16 to 24 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Native English speaker (who is not fluent in any other language and does not identify as bilingual) * Normal or corrected to normal vision Exclusion Criteria: * Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder * Hearing deficits (\>25 decibels at 500+ Hz), visual deficits (\>20/40), serious emotional problems (e.g., severe, uncontrolled depression) and certain neurological conditions (e.g., uncontrolled seizure disorders) * Individuals with certain metals in their bodies or with certain health conditions. If an individual has braces on their teeth, a cardiac pacemaker; hearing aid; other metal in their body or eyes (which may include certain metallic-embedded tattoos), including but not limited to pins, screws, shrapnel, plates, dentures or other metal objects * Individuals taking certain medications that lower seizure threshold * Individuals with TMS Screening and Contraindication Forms which do not pass TMS Tech review * Individuals with MRI Screening and Contraindication Forms which do not pass MRI Tech review
