Although referral to a speech and language pathologist is essential for diagnosing language deficits and developing effective treatment plans, there is no scientific consensus regarding the most effective treatment. Thus, our study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of various therapeutic interventions for PPA. Methods: Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched to identify articles assessing different therapeutic interventions for PPA. To ensure comprehensive coverage, the search strategy employed specific medical subject headings. The primary outcome measure was language gain; the secondary outcome assessed overall therapeutic effects. Data on study characteristics, patient demographics, PPA subtypes, therapeutic modalities, and treatment patterns were collected. Results: Fifty-seven studies with 655 patients were included. For naming and word finding, errorless learning therapy, lexical retrieval cascade (LRC), semantic feature training, smartphone-based cognitive therapy, picture-naming therapy, and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) maintained effects for up to six months. Repetitive rTMS, video-implemented script training for aphasia (VISTA), and structured oral reading therapy improved speech fluency. Sole transcranial treatments enhanced auditory verbal comprehension, whereas transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with language or cognitive therapy improved repetition abilities. Phonological and orthographic treatments improved reading accuracy across PPA subtypes. tDCS combined with speech therapy enhanced mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scores and cognitive function. Several therapies, including smartphone-based cognitive therapy and VISTA therapy, demonstrated sustained language improvements over six months. Conclusions: Various therapeutic interventions offer potential benefits for individuals with PPA. However, due to the heterogeneity in study designs, administration methods, small sample sizes, and lack of standardized measurement methods, drawing a firm conclusion is difficult. Further studies are warranted to establish evidence-based treatment protocols.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14093063","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,29]],"date-time":"2025-04-29T05:17:12Z","timestamp":1745903832000},"page":"3063","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Safety and Efficacy of Different Therapeutic Interventions for Primary Progressive Aphasia: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-0046-4638","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdulrahim Saleh","family":"Alrasheed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, College of Medicine, King Faisal University, AlAhsa 31982, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-7550-6458","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reem Ali","family":"Alshamrani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, Taif University, Taif 21944, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdullah Ali","family":"Al Ameer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Faisal University, AlAhsa 31982, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Reham Mohammed","family":"Alkahtani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, Taif University, Taif 21944, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Noor Mohammad","family":"AlMohish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurology Department, King Fahad Hospital of the University, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Khobar 34445, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mustafa Ahmed","family":"AlQarni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurology Department, College of Medicine, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Khobar 34445, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6992-5341","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Majed Mohammad","family":"Alabdali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurology Department, College of Medicine, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Khobar 34445, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"34","DOI":"10.1007\/s11940-015-0362-5","article-title":"Treatment of primary progressive aphasia","volume":"17","author":"Tippett","year":"2015","journal-title":"Curr.
