About this study
Official title: Evaluation of the Performance and Safety of a Scintillating Lamp Developed to Improve the Reading of Dyslexic Patients
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new medical device on the improvement of reading skills of dyslexic patients.
Read the detailed description
Dyslexia is defined as a specific learning disability that is characterized by reading difficulties, in the absence of intellectual disability, neurological or psychiatric disorder, uncorrected sensory disturbance (sight, hearing) or an educational deficiency.
Dyslexia appears in the child from the earliest stages of learning in the form of a difficulty in mastering the learning of reading. This disorder is manifested by a generally hesitant reading, slowed down, full of errors, requiring a lot of effort for the child and may impact his reading comprehension. The dyslexia-related deficiency is of variable intensity depending on the individual; it may be accompanied by calculus disorders (dyscalculia), oral language (dysphasia), motor coordination (dyspraxia) or attention disorders with or without hyperactivity. In nearly 40% of cases, a child affected by Dys disorders presents several learning disorders.
To date, the causes of dyslexia are not yet clearly established. The wide variety of symptoms and disorders associated with dyslexia does not facilitate the identification of precise neurobiological / psycho cognitive mechanisms. There are therefore several theories: phonological, visual, temporal, cerebellar or proprioceptive auditory processing.
Recently, following work published in 2017, an anatomical cause based on Maxwell's spots could also be a cause of dyslexia.
The aim of this study is to evaluate a new medical device to compensate this probable anatomical cause.

Measured: 1 day
Patient's satisfaction regarding reading fluency
patient interview with VAS (Visual Analogue Scale): 0 - 100 mm
Measured: 1 day
Speech therapist's satisfaction regarding Securirty, Performance and usability of scintilling lamp
speech therapist interview with 4 points - Likert scale (Very good, Good, Moderate, Bad)
Measured: 1 day

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Reading performance aloud of a text with french E.L.FE Test (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Apr 2021.
