Communication Bridge 3: Speech therapy for PPA
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a web-based speech therapy program called Communication Bridge for people with Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) and their communication partners. The goal is to improve communication skills and quality of life.

This study tests a multi-component language treatment for people with primary progressive aphasia (a type of dementia that first affects language). It aims to help improve communication skills with support from a study partner.
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.
