Memantine and functional communication in Alzheimer’s disease: results of a 12-week, international, randomized clinical trial

Post hoc analyses suggest that memantine treatment may provide communication-related benefits in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this 12-week, international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of memantine (10 mg bid), the functional communication abilities of patients with AD (MMSE range: 10-19) were assessed using the Functional Linguistic Communication Inventory (FLCI; primary measure). Two combined subscales […]

Prediction of amyloid-β pathology in amnestic mild cognitive impairment with neuropsychological tests

However, the incorporation of biomarker evidence to the diagnostic process is currently restricted mainly to research settings. The identification of […]
