This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combined accelerated theta burst stimulation and reading instruction in improving reading outcomes for individuals with persistent developmental dyslexia.
Multiple baseline, single-subject design assessing effectiveness across five cohorts.
10 nonconsecutive treatment days over five weeks, with two treatment sessions daily.
Treatment included aTBS followed by individualized 30-minute reading intervention.
Combined aTBS and reading instruction improved oral reading fluency and accuracy compared to reading instruction alone.
Functional neuroimaging revealed different impacts on brain regions supporting reading with combined treatment versus instruction alone.
