5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The present study grounds on the absence of evidence-based treatment in individuals with dyslexia. At this topic, the present study will explore the potential effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over parieto-occipital brain regions, cerebral areas usually disrupted in individuals with dyslexia. tDCS will be administered without concomitantly training. Therefore, the investigators hypothesized that active tDCS over parieto-occipital areas will enhance reading skills in children and adolescents with dyslexia. On the contrary, sham tDCS (placebo) over parieto-occipital areas will not have significant effect on reading. Further, both active and sham tDCS will be safe and well-tolerated.
Detailed Description
The study design is randomized stratified, cross-over, double-blind, placebo-controlled. Children and adolescents with dyslexia will be selected and randomly assigned to two different groups: 1. Active tDCS over parieto-occipital areas + sham tDCS over parieto-occipital areas (Active-Sham tDCS); 2. Sham tDCS over parieto-occipital areas + active tDCS over parieto-occipital areas (Sham-Active tDCS). In this project, the investigators will work to understand whether a brain-based intervention, with the use of tDCS without combined training, can enhance reading in individuals with dyslexia. The protocol will allow the investigators to: Testing the efficacy of stand-alone tDCS in enhancing reading in individuals with dyslexia; Testing the critical role of brain regions (parieto-occipital areas) usually involved in reading and disrupted in dyslexia; Predicting outcomes based on reading-related skills; Investigating the safety and tolerability of tDCS; The overarching goal is to provide a scientific foundation for devising new rehabilitation strategies in dyslexia.

Intervention Description
Active tDCS will be delivered to parieto-occipital areas for five consecutive days. tDCS will be delivered by a battery driven, direct current stimulator through a pair of saline-soaked sponge electrodes kept firm by elastic bands. The electrodes will be placed on the left (anodal) and right (cathodal) parieto-occipital areas, PO7 and PO8 position according to the 10-20 international EEG system for electrode placement. Stimulation intensity will be set at 1 milliampere (mA), the duration of stimulation will be 20 min.
