High-Frequency Language Therapy with Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA) and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS): A Longitudinal Single-Case Report of Semantic Variant of Primary Progressive Aphasia (svPPA)

Background: The goal of this study was to investigate whether the combination of semantic feature analysis (SFA) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is effective in treating word retrieval in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) and how long the potential effect...
