Combined Brain Stimulation and Reading Instruction for Persistent Dyslexia

A multiple baseline, single-subject design study assessed the impact of accelerated theta burst stimulation combined with reading instruction on young adults with persistent developmental dyslexia. The study involved 5 cohorts with 2–4 participants per cohort, each receiving 20 treatment sessions over five weeks. Preliminary results suggest combined treatment improves oral reading fluency and accuracy above instruction alone and differentially impacts brain regions supporting reading.

Use Cases

• Analyze treatment efficacy for persistent developmental dyslexia based on the combined aTBS and reading instruction paradigm
• Compare neurobiological impacts of combined treatment versus instruction alone based on functional neuroimaging results
• Evaluate oral reading fluency and accuracy outcomes in a multiple baseline, single-subject design

Strengths

• Study design includes 20 treatment sessions per participant over five weeks
• Preliminary results include functional neuroimaging data suggesting differential brain impact
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is small (1.5 MB), suggesting limited scope or granularity
