Effect of Piracetam on Dyslexic's Reading Ability.
Wilsher, C.; And Others
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v18 n1 p19-25 Jan 1985
Forty-six dyslexic boys (aged eight to 13) were administered Piracetam or placebo in a double-blind, parallel experiment. Although, overall, there were no significant group effects, the within-subject design revealed improvements in reading speed and accuracy in Piracetam Ss. Dyslexics with higher reading ages improved significantly compared to placebo Ss. (Author/CL)
