RTms-Based Treatment for Primary Progressive Aphasia: A Critical Review

Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a neurodegenerative disease associated with gradual deterioration of language function. To date, no standard treatment is available for this condition. Behavioural treatments are the most studied option, offering positive results. Little is known about other pathways such as neuromodulatory techniques. This paper summarizes rTMS studies directed to PPA individuals and provides critical judgments on its implications for future clinical guidelines.
