Speech and meaning therapy for primary progressive semantic aphasia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a “semantic rehabilitation” program—therapy focused on improving word meaning and understanding—for people with primary progressive semantic aphasia. If you qualify, it may help slow or improve language difficulties and daily communication.

This trial looks at ways to improve language abilities in people with primary progressive aphasia (a long-term brain condition that affects speech and language). It may help if your communication problems come from this condition and you can safely take part in the study activities, which likely involve language practice and MRI scanning.
This trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation method to improve language and speech problems caused by primary progressive aphasia. It may help some people communicate more clearly by targeting specific brain regions.
This study looks at how language changes in people with primary progressive aphasia. It may help researchers better understand the condition and how it affects speech and communication over time.
This trial tests whether a painless form of brain stimulation can improve language and thinking skills in people with the logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (a dementia that affects language). You may receive brain stimulation along with repeated clinic visits to track changes over time.
