NCT06993285 · NOT YET RECRUITING
ADvanced ALzheimer Disease and Effects of Protologic and LAnguage Rehabilitation Tools in Nursing Home (ADALPA)
This small study tests whether speech therapy sessions, adapted for people with very advanced Alzheimer's, can bring back some spoken or non-spoken communication. Nine nursing home residents get up to 30 sessions over 34 weeks. Sessions are filmed and analyzed. It has no formal phase, so it is an early look, not proof that it works.
