Enhancing Language Function in Primary Progressive Aphasia (NCT04920318)
Enhancing Language Function in Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) With Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study's goal is to use non-invasive brain stimulation (NBS) techniques to treat language impairment associated with Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). The purpose of this study is to combine behavioral language intervention with individualized noninvasive brain stimulation techniques, called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help the brain reorganize around damage and improve language functions.
