New hope for preserving communication in devastating brain disorder

NCT ID NCT04881617

Summary

This study is testing whether speech and language therapy can help people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) communicate better and potentially slow their decline. Researchers are working with 60 adults who have PPA to see if targeted therapy leads to lasting improvements in speaking and understanding language. The study also aims to identify brain features that predict who might benefit most from this type of treatment.
