The effects of transcranial direct current Stimulation on Working memory and reading skills of adults with Dyslexia: A double-blind randomized controlled trial.

The aim was to investigate the effects of transcranial direct current Stimulation on Working memory and some reading skills of adults with Dyslexia. Forty adults with Dyslexia, who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled. All adults were informed of the trial and signed informed consent. Adults were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 20 adults. Linear regression models were used to assess within-person differences within conditions for each outcome. Post-test scores were considered as dependent variables explained by condition and pretest scores as the independent variables. Results showed that participants in the Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation(tDCS) experimental condition reported significant changes in scores from pre-intervention to post-intervention. The transcranial direct current stimulation seems to be a promising tool for improving working memory and some reading skills of adults with dyslexia.
