Alzheimer's disease has no cure, but several treatments can help manage symptoms and slow its progression. Medications such as cholinesterase inhibitors (donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine) and memantine can improve cognitive function and alleviate symptoms. Non-drug interventions like cognitive stimulation therapy and reminiscence therapy may also be beneficial. Additionally, lifestyle changes like regular exercise and a balanced diet can support brain health. Recently, research has explored potential treatments like cerebrolysin injection, a neurotrophic agent believed to promote nerve cell growth and repair. However, its efficacy is still under investigation, and consultation with a healthcare professional is crucial for personalized treatment plans.
