First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
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 certain types of PPA will receive either real or sham tDCS during language therapy. The goal is to see if tDCS helps them find words more accurately, both right after treatment and three months later.
