Research
Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech (PPAOS) is a rare, neurodegenerative disorder identified by Mayo Clinic researchers.
Mayo Clinic physician-scientists are working to better understand primary progressive apraxia of speech and related diseases. Their research helps improve how these conditions are diagnosed and treated. Mayo Clinic is a leader in:
- Describing different types of PPAOS.
- Finding early signs of disease, called biomarkers, by using advanced brain imaging to support earlier diagnosis and follow changes over time.
- Using new digital tools, such as artificial intelligence and mobile technology, to help more people get diagnosed sooner.
- Studying new treatments, such as neuromodulation, to help maintain language and communication skills longer.
Mayo Clinic also takes part in clinical trials to explore new therapies and improve existing treatment options. Talk with your care team about whether a clinical trial may be right for you.
