Treatment of Alzheimer Disease
Treatment of Alzheimer Disease
In terms of treatment of
Alzheimer disease, no treatment method with special effect has been found yet.
At present, treatment mainly lies in the following two aspects: traditional
treatment and stem cell treatment.
Traditional
treatment of Alzheimer disease
Traditional treatment includes
drugs treatment and rehabilitation treatment.
Drug treatment
Currently, there are many kinds
of drugs for treating Alzheimer disease. Research experience points out that
patients have significant difference in reaction to certain drug and this
difference is related to the following factors: AD onset period, degree of
dementia (early period, medium or advanced stage), degree of brain impairment,
hereditary factor and drug reaction existing in individuals.
Rehabilitation treatment
1.
Occupational therapy: On the basis of the functional
disorder of patients, select some activities that patients are interested in
and can help them to restore functions and skills, and ask patients to carry on
training as required, such as building blocks, jigsaw, calligraphy, painting
and knitting. Make patients concentrate their attentions, increase
concentration and memory, improve physical strength and patience, increase
sense of fun and rebuild confidence to life.
2. Physical exercise therapy: There is evidence of that activation of
neuron plays a protection role in degenerative changes of aging and Alzheimer
disease. Physical exercise can stimulate neurons and promote recovery of
functions so it also is effective treatment method.
As Alzheimer disease is
progressive, the above methods can only stabilize the disease temporarily but
can’t guarantee no deterioration phenomena. Experts of Guangzhou Meyo Stem Cell
Hospital point out that stem cell therapy is a more effective method for the
moment and can fundamentally treat Alzheimer disease.
Principles
of stem cell therapy on Alzheimer disease
Stem cell is one kind of
undifferentiated cell and has the potentiality of self-replication and to
differentiate into multiple functional cells. Injecting stem cells through
artery intervention and taking advantage of stem cells to differentiate nerve
cells with complete functions to replace necrosis and damaged nerve cells so as
to achieve the object of treating Alzheimer disease.
What are the
advantages of stem cell treating Alzheimer disease?
1.
Short treatment course: It only needs three months for
one course by using stem cells to treat Alzheimer disease
A course includes three times
of stem cell transplantation operation and the interval time between twice stem
cell transplantation operation is 8-25 days. Compared with long time treatment
method such as drug therapy and dietary therapy, stem cell therapy has short
treatment course.
2.
Significant effect: 75% of all patients with
Alzheimer disease are improved obviously after stem cell therapy
According to clinical statistic
data, 75% patients with Alzheimer disease have different degrees of improvement
in cognitive disorder, language disorder and other symptoms. After two courses
of stem cell transplantation therapy averagely, patients’ symptoms are
obviously improved.
3.
Safe and reliable: Stem cells have no side effects
in treating Alzheimer disease
Stem cells have no side effect
and low immunity and rarely have immunological rejection. The operation adopts minimally invasive technique rather than a
surgery. It has no pain and quick effect.
4. Stem cells have rich source and wide therapeutic scope
Adult stem cells are commonly
found in multiple organs of human body and main sources include bone marrow
stem cell, peripheral blood stem cells and umbilical cord blood stem cells.
Through stem cell therapy,
patients with Alzheimer disease get improvement from every aspects.
