Summary
This study tests whether combining a gentle, at-home brain stimulation technique (tDCS) with virtual speech therapy can improve communication in adults with primary progressive aphasia, a language disorder often linked to Alzheimer's. About 80 participants will receive either real or placebo stimulation during speech therapy sessions over video. The goal is to see if the brain boost leads to better word-finding and confidence in speaking.
