First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tests a safe, painless brain stimulation technique called tDCS to see if it can improve language skills in people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA), a condition that slowly destroys the ability to speak and understand language. Researchers will compare real tDCS to a sham (fake) version in 180 adults aged 50-90 with certain types of PPA. The goal is to find a new, at-home-friendly treatment to help patients communicate better.
