Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) slowly erodes language skills, and while speech therapy has been the go-to option, researchers at the University of Arizona found that adding a gentle brain zap—called transcranial direct current stimulation—gives therapy a serious boost. In their study, people with word-finding struggles made bigger, longer-lasting gains in writing and speaking when brain stimulation was paired with therapy versus therapy alone. The approach is safe, affordable, and taps into the brain’s ability to rewire itself, offering new hope that even with progressive brain diseases, communication skills can be improved and preserved.
