Cognitive Enhancement Therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease
@article{Parnetti1997CognitiveET, title={Cognitive Enhancement Therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease}, author={Lucilla Parnetti and Umberto Senin and Patrizia Mecocci}, journal={Drugs}, year={1997}, volume={53}, pages={752-768} }
SummaryAlthough at present there is no definitive treatment or cure for Alzheimer’s disease, different pharmacological strategies are being actively investigated. At present, cholinergic therapy and nootropics and some neuronotrophic agents represent the available approaches to symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The use of cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEI) constitutes the best cholinergic approach to increase acetylcholine levels. Available data suggest that about 15 to 40% of…

There is ample evidence supporting the hypothesis that inflammatory and immune mechanisms are involved in tissue destruction in Alzheimer's disease and clinical trials of anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressive drugs are necessary to determine whether alteration of these inflammatory mechanisms can slow the progression of Alzheimer's Disease.
