Current Approaches in Alzheimer’s Disease Treatment

Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease is a disease that causes progressive and irreversible dam-age to nerve cells, characterized by cognitive and memory impairment. It is the world’s leading cause of dementia and the population of Alzheimer’s patients is growing rapidly. The reasons such as the etiology of the disease not being determined yet, the increase in the patient population over the years, the lack of a radical treatment, the decrease in the quality of life of the patients increase the importance of the disease and direct the researchers to this field. In this review, general information about Alzheimer’s and current treatment approaches that modify and improve the disease are examined.
