Acquired Dyslexia Modeling and Treatment
Evidence-based Modeling for Acquired Dyslexia Treatments
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 6 May 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study is a low-risk, early phase 1, multicenter trial to test the use of a computational (neural network) cognitive model of reading to simulate acquired dyslexia and its treatment. The aim is to determine whether there is an advantage to receiving the treatment the model predicts to be advantageous compared to the alternative treatment. All participants will receive two full rounds of treatment. A round of treatment will consist of either phonomotor treatment (PMT) or semantic feature analysis (SFA) for 60 hours, distributed over 5 days a week for 2 hours a day.
