Can Alzheimer's disease be treated?

So far we can not cure Alzheimer's disease! Once symptoms such as amnesia, learning difficulties, or inability to communicate with others appear in everyday life,
no drug can restore things the way it was before, as it can only slow down the deterioration of the disease more!





In some cases, there are some medications that relieve the symptoms, they slow the progression of the disease and help the brain to work well for a longer period.


So what is the role of drugs currently in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease?

The main problem in Alzheimer's disease is brain cell damage, leading to a significant decrease in the formation of an important neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. These drugs inhibit the process of breaking acetylcholine, a chemical vector in the brain that plays a key role in memory and learning , Thus prolonging the work time of these neurotransmitters and improving the process of remembering and learning.

Almost half of the patients taking these drugs may succeed with them in slowing down the appearance of more symptoms that may lead to the situation more bad. The effect is that the effect lasts for a limited period of 6 to 12 months, as well as side effects such as diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite and weight loss.

Scientists are looking for new treatments for Alzheimer's disease in clinical trials. In these studies, new drugs are being tested to see if they have the ability to slow down more than the development of the disease or even improve memory problems; they also look for other ways beyond drugs, such as Alzheimer's vaccine.

Many people hope that some supplements, such as vitamin E, Ginkgo biloba, and coral calcium, will help treat the disease but so far there is no conclusive evidence of any effect. For omega-3 fatty acids, studies Are still conflicting and scientists are still doing more research on how they affect the disease.

Scientists are currently struggling to diagnose Alzheimer's disease early before the onset of symptoms, which may help people start treatment as soon as possible.
