Pharmacological modulation of cognitive and behavioral symptoms in patients with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease

To evaluate correlations of pharmacological treatment with cognitive and behavioral symptoms in patients with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease with low schooling, subjects were assessed for demographic features, neuropsychiatric symptoms, cognitive decline, functionality, caregiver burden, APOE haplotypes and pharmacological treatment. Among 217 patients, use of cholinesterase inhibitors with or without Memantine was associated with less […]

Neuromidin in mixed vascular and Alzheimer’s dementia

The efficacy of neuromidin (ipidacrinum), a nonselective inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase and butyrilcholinesterase was studied in patients with mixed vascular and Alzheimer’s dementia of mild and moderate severity. Thirty patients of the main group received neyromidin in dosage 80 mg/day during 3 months; 10 patients of the comparison group matched by age, sex and severity of […]

Differential effects of current specific treatments on behavioral and psychological symptoms in patients with Alzheimer’s disease: a 12-month, randomized, open-label trial

Background: Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) occur in up to 80% of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients and represent one of the most common reasons for early institutionalization and increase in management costs.; Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of four drugs (memantine, donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine) in BPSD in AD patients.; Methods: This was […]

Tolerability and efficacy of memantine add-on therapy to rivastigmine transdermal patches in mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease: a multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group study

Objective: To compare the tolerability and efficacy of combination therapy of memantine plus rivastigmine patch with rivastigmine patch monotherapy in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD).; Research Design and Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, open-label study, patients entered an 8-week run-in period (a 5 cm 2 rivastigmine patch for 4 weeks, then a […]

Parallel improvement of cognitive functions and P300 latency following donepezil treatment in patients with Alzheimer’s disease: a case-control study

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of donepezil, one of the cholinesterase inhibitors, on P300 measurements in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and investigate the relationship between the subfactors of cognitive performance and P300 components.; Methods: One hundred outpatients with AD were evaluated for cognitive function (cognitive ability screening instrument) and event-related potentials before and after […]

Safety and effectiveness of donepezil on behavioral symptoms in patients with Alzheimer disease

The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and treatment responsiveness of neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with mild to moderately severe Alzheimer disease recruited in a naturalistic treatment setting in Spain. All the patients, who matched the prescribing recommendations for donepezil and were able to participate in the study, received donepezil (5 to […]

Gait changes with anti-dementia drugs: a prospective, open-label study combining single and dual task assessments in patients with Alzheimer’s disease

Background: No comparison of anti-dementia drugs-related gait changes has been previously conducted combining single and dual task assessments.; Objectives: (1) To quantify and compare gait changes among patients with possible or probable Alzheimer’s disease before and after the use of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (i.e., donepezil, galantamine, rivastigmine) or memantine, and among controls with possible or probable […]

Comparison of adverse drug reactions with donepezil versus memantine: analysis of the French Pharmacovigilance Database

Background: Since donepezil and memantine are currently used for treating Alzheimer’s disease, it is interesting to analyse, reassess and compare their safety profile in order to promote a better use.; Methods: All spontaneous reports of suspected serious adverse drug reactions with donepezil alone and with memantine alone recorded in the French Pharmacovigilance Database during 6 […]

Optimal dosing of galantamine in patients with mild or moderate Alzheimer’s disease: post Hoc analysis of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Background: Galantamine (hydrobromide), a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and allosteric nicotinic receptor modulator, slows cognitive and functional decline in mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer’s type. Although several drugs are indicated for mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD), no published study has separately analysed mild and moderate AD subgroups to assess the effect of dosage.; […]

Rivastigmine transdermal patch and physical exercises for Alzheimer’s disease: A randomized clinical trial

Objective: To determine the effects of rivastigmine patch associated with physical exercise versus rivastigmine patch alone in quality of life (QOL), cognition, activities of daily living (ADL) and functional mobility in Alzheimer’s disease (AD)subjects. Methods: A randomized, controlled, single-blinded trial was conducted in 40 patients with mild to moderate stages of AD. All patients were […]
