Zap to the brain may help restore lost words

NCT ID NCT05386394

Summary

This study is testing whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique, combined with speech therapy, can help people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) improve their ability to name objects and spell words. PPA is a disorder that gradually impairs language skills. Researchers will enroll 180 participants across three sites to see if this approach provides meaningful and lasting benefits compared to therapy alone.
