Zapping the brain to save speech: new trial tests TMS and tDCS for progressive aphasia
NCT ID NCT07158216
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study tests whether gentle brain stimulation (TMS, tDCS, or both) can slow down language decline in people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA), a condition that gradually impairs speech and understanding. Over 6 months, 80 participants will receive either real stimulation or a sham (fake) version, alongside standard language therapy. The goal is to see if these non-invasive techniques help maintain language abilities longer than therapy alone.
