Alzheimer’s disease is a common neurodegenerative disease in the elderly. It is usually caused by some neurological lesions that lead to shrinking and atrophy of the brain and destroy cells in it significantly. The disease usually causes unstable behavior and impairment in the patient’s behavioral and social skills. The biggest challenge with this disease is that it is not yet fully curable.

Over the years, hundreds of drugs and treatment plans have emerged that stimulate the affected areas of the brain and make the patient’s symptoms minimal. Clinical trials have proven that acetylcholinesterase inhibitors help stabilize the patient’s mental performance and significantly slow down Alzheimer’s symptoms by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, and brain chemical believed to play an important role in memory and thinking functions.

At the moment, with the great development in the therapeutic and pharmaceutical fields, doctors have reached the best treatment methods for Alzheimer’s, which we at Snow White Clinics in Turkey, which can be summarized as follows:

• Our specialists offer non-surgical treatment that uses state-of-the-art transcranial pulse stimulation technology to improve the quality of life for patients with mild to moderate-grade Alzheimer’s disease, and is one of the most widespread ways in recent years around the world to treat Alzheimer’s symptoms and control its symptoms as much as possible.

For whom this treatment:

This method can usually be used for mild to moderate-grade Alzheimer’s patients.

Objective and desired result:

The goal is to help Alzheimer’s patients develop and maintain their mental and physical abilities.

• Ultrasound pulses are delivered outside the patient’s body to reach areas of the brain that require treatment.
• It is a treatment method that does not require hospitalization and can be performed on an outpatient basis.

• The patient can resume his normal life immediately after the sessions are completed.
• One treatment session usually lasts an average of 30 minutes, and the patient’s treatment program, consists of 6 sessions spread over two weeks.

• Stimulate mechanically sensitive ion channels.
• Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas that causes vasodilation, increased metabolic activity and angiogenesis, and acts as an anti-inflammatory.
• Stimulate vascular growth factors (VEGF).
• Stimulate neurotrophic factor BDNF (brain-device)
• Stem cell migration and differentiation.

In mild to moderate, cases, Alzheimer’s patients usually show a 10% improvement in CERAD score in less than two weeks, as well as significant gains in guidance, self-awareness and the patient’s overall mental health.

You can now communicate with our medical team directly via WhatsApp or any means of Communication available to us through our official website or social media accounts to assess the case directly and determine the most appropriate treatment steps and plan according to the patient’s condition and degree of illness as well as doctor’s evaluation of it.
