阿尔茨海默病的非药物治疗

Non Drug Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease

阿尔茨海默病是日益严重的公共卫生问题,占痴呆人数的2/3以上。阿尔茨海默病的特点是认知功能的慢性进行性恶化,经常伴有精神病理状态,包括人格改变和社会孤立,这些症状严重降低了生活质量。目前,没有一种可行的治疗AD症状的方法或现代药物能够减缓或逆转AD的进展或阻止神经退变的进展。随着对阿尔茨海默病的深入研究,非药物治疗因其副作用小、患者及家属易接受等优点形成了一种新的干预思路。

Alzheimer’s disease is an increasingly serious public health problem, accounting for more than two-thirds of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by chronic progressive deterioration of cognitive function, often accompanied by psychopathology, including personality changes and social isolation, which seriously reduce the quality of life. At present, there is no feasible treatment or modern drugs for AD symptoms to slow or reverse the progression of AD or prevent the progression of neurodegeneration. With the in-depth study of Alzheimer’s disease, non-drug therapy has formed a new way of intervention because of its advantages such as small side effects, easy acceptance by patients and their families.
