Study Summary

This trial aims to use a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to study how older youth learn spoken words. The study will focus on how inhibiting a specific part of the brain

Who is the study for?

This trial is for older youth with dyslexia. Participants should be able to undergo brain stimulation and are interested in how it might affect learning new spoken words. Specific eligibility details aren't provided, so generally healthy individuals who meet the age requirement for 'older youth' may apply.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if a type of brain stimulation called cTBS can influence learning, processing, and remembering made-up words that sound similar. Some participants will receive real cTBS while others get a sham (fake) treatment to compare results.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects are not listed, TMS can sometimes cause discomfort at the stimulation site, headache, lightheadedness or seizures in very rare cases.
