First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests personalized speech therapy delivered online for people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA), a condition that slowly destroys language skills. Researchers will enroll 30 adults with mild PPA and tailor exercises to their specific variant. The goal is to see if therapy can improve naming, grammar, and daily communication, and whether benefits last up to six months.
