Zapping the brain to help people with dementia speak again
NCT ID NCT04566731
Summary
This study tested whether a combination of gentle brain stimulation and speech therapy could help people with primary progressive aphasia, a type of dementia that causes language loss. Twenty-three participants received either real or fake (sham) brain stimulation during speech therapy sessions. Researchers measured changes in language skills and brain activity to see if the treatment helped and to understand how it might work.
