When you or a loved one receives an Alzheimer’s disease (AD) diagnosis and the equally bad news is that there isn’t a single medication on the market that can stop the mind-robbing disease in its tracks, it’s easy to feel hopeless. Who wouldn’t? But on the contrary, there is every reason to be hopeful. Why?
More than 150 Alzheimer’s and related clinical trials in the U.S. are looking for volunteers.
Each of these studies is testing an experimental treatment to discover whether one of them could be an effective treatment or a cure, the answer to so many prayers. Although the investigational medications currently being tested in clinical studies may not stop the disease progression or prevent its devastating escalation, every study gives researchers one more bit of invaluable information that will eventually lead to answers on how to treat Alzheimer’s disease.
