Early treatment

"It's important to get a prompt diagnosis, because the earlier you start treatment, the more effective it can be." Robert Stern, director of Boston University's Alzheimer's Disease Center Clinical Core.

Current research is being done to develop medications that slow or stop dementia, rather than temporarily treating the symptoms as current drugs do.  According to Stern, these drugs could be available within three years.  If interested, you could enroll in a clinical study.  For a list of trials with these medications, contact:   www.alz.org/trialmatch

You could be part of a cutting edge breakthrough.
