The Latest Alzheimer's Treatments Explained by Neurologist. At the forefront of groundbreaking medical care, the Michigan Institute for Neurological Disorders (MIND) stands as a beacon of hope for adult patients and their families grappling with neurological conditions. 2024 ushered in the "era of Alzheimer's treatments", but what exactly does that entail? Several ongoing research efforts aim to advance Alzheimer's disease treatments, focusing on various approaches. One notable avenue involves anti-amyloid drugs, targeting the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain, a characteristic of Alzheimer's. Lecembie, approved by the FDA in 2023, is one such drug. Another promising area involves tau-targeting therapies, addressing abnormal tau protein tangles. Additionally, researchers explore anti-inflammatory drugs, lifestyle interventions, and repurposed medications for potential cognitive benefits. Clinical trials assess the efficacy of these treatments, emphasizing early detection and personalized medicine.
