Communication quality of life in primary progressive aphasia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a therapy to improve communication for people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA), a condition that slowly affects language. You and a care partner will attend video sessions to work on communication goals together.

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).
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.
