Temporary Improvements in Memory and Thinking after a brief course of treatment for Alzheimer's

The present study investigated whether a brief course of cognitive rehabilitation therapy (CRT) could improve memory and thinking after the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

The basic process of Alzheimer's

Alzheimer's is a progressive, fatal brain disease that affects memory and thinking alzheimer's research. While there is no cure for Alzheimer's, there are treatments that can temporarily improve memory and thinking. These temporary improvements are called "success stories."

The basic process of Alzheimer's is gradual loss of brain function due to the build-up of deposits called amyloid plaques and tau tangles. These deposits form as nerve cells die and are composed mostly of beta-amyloid peptides (a type of protein) and tau proteins (a type of protein).

There are currently two main types of treatments for Alzheimer's: medications and surgeries. The medications help slow down the progression of the disease by attacking the amyloid plaques and tau tangles. The surgeries remove the amyloid plaques and tau tangles.

There are many success stories related to Alzheimer's treatments. For example Cong QI, one patient who received surgery to remove the amyloid plaques from her brain was able to return to work after six months. Another patient who received a medication to attack the amyloid plaques in her brain was able to return to work after four years.

While these successes are temporary

Symptoms of Alzheimer's

"The most common symptom of Alzheimer's is difficulty with memory, which can include problems recalling recent events, names, and facts. Other symptoms of Alzheimer's include: problems with language, confusion, mood swings, lack of focus, and a decrease in physical activity. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to treating Alzheimer's, but there are several temporary improvements that can be made to help improve memory and thinking.

Some of the simplest things that you can do to improve your memory include: making sure you have enough sleep; eating a balanced diet; getting regular exercise; and avoiding toxins in your environment. In some cases, medication may also be helpful in improving memory and thinking. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before taking any medications because some drugs may have side effects that could affect your memory or thinking."

Side effects and conclusions

Memory and thinking are temporarily improved after a brief course of treatment for Alzheimer's. However, the benefits are not permanent and the side effects can be serious.
