What's the future of treatment for Alzheimer's disease?

Abstract

Accurate diagnosis of the dementia syndrome is essential to provide the best possible therapy. Current treatment options for Alzheimer's disease are limited to symptomatic therapies (including cholinesterase inhibitors and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists). Potential new treatments are focusing on decreasing amyloid production, increasing amyloid clearance and using immunotherapies.
