This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve language skills in people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA), a condition that slowly destroys the ability to speak and understand language. About 180 adults aged 50-90 with cert…

This study looks at how brain changes relate to speech and language problems in people with progressive apraxia of speech (AOS), a condition that slowly impairs the ability to speak. Researchers will use brain scans and speech tests over time to track these changes. The goal is t…

This study looks at how speaking two languages (Spanish and English or Spanish and Catalan) affects language treatment in people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA), a condition that first causes speech and language problems. Researchers will give tailored speech therapy in bo…

This study follows 500 people with primary progressive aphasia, a condition that slowly damages the parts of the brain responsible for language. Researchers use brain scans and language tests to see how the disease changes over time. The goal is to better understand the disease, …

This study aims to create a model that better predicts how different types of dementia will progress over time. Researchers will follow 500 people with early dementia or mild cognitive impairment, using blood tests and thinking assessments. The goal is to improve prognostic confi…

This study aims to identify and distinguish two different types of Progressive Apraxia of Speech, a condition that affects a person's ability to speak clearly. Researchers at Mayo Clinic will use clinical imaging and testing on 47 participants to better understand these speech pr…
