Speech Therapy for Italian Speakers with PPA
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests speech and language therapy for people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA). It aims to see if targeted exercises can help maintain or improve communication skills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

This study tests whether targeted magnetic stimulation to the brain can help improve language and speech in people with primary progressive aphasia. It compares the effects of real stimulation versus a placebo to see if it is a safe and useful treatment.
This study tests whether brain stimulation can help people with primary progressive aphasia (a type of dementia that mainly affects language) maintain or improve their communication skills over time. It looks at two types of stimulation: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
