NCT ID NCT03887481
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 20, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive form of electrical brain stimulation can help improve language and memory problems in people with a specific type of dementia called logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA). Researchers will combine the brain stimulation with language training exercises to see if it helps people with this condition communicate better. The goal is to see if this approach can slow the decline of speech and memory skills and improve daily life for patients and their families.
