Research progress on treatments for Alzheimer's disease

Abstract. Alzheimers disease (AD) is an irreversible neurological degenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive impairment, and its pathogenesis remains unclear. Its main pathological features include neurofibrillary tangles formed by hyperphosphorylated tau protein and amyloid beta (A) plaque deposition. As the disease progresses, the patients self-care ability will become worse and worse. In the later stages, the patient will have to rely on others for daily life, which places a great burden on the patient, family, and society. Currently, there are a limited number of AD treatment drugs and their efficacy is limited, and they cannot effectively improve the condition of AD. This article reviews different methods for treating AD and provides a reference for the treatment of AD. At present, the treatment of senile dementia is mainly divided into two categories. The current treatment methods include Lencamab, bee therapy related drugs, NSCs transplantation therapy, Panax notoginseng saponins, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It is necessary to explore new treatment methods and drugs to improve treatment effectiveness and widely apply dementia in the elderly.
