Alzheimer's Dementia

Taiwan is becoming a super-aged society, and more older adults are living with Alzheimer's disease. Many people with Alzheimer's experience behavioral and psychological symptoms, such as agitation, sleep problems, or mood changes. These symptoms often lower their quality of life and increase stress for their family caregivers. This study will test two wearable devices in people with Alzheimer's and their caregivers. One device, called Geneactiv, is a wristwatch that tracks daily activity and sleep. The other device, called Re-Timer, is a light therapy eyewear that may help improve sleep and mood. Researchers will look at how easy the devices are to use, whether participants are willing to wear them for several weeks, and whether the light therapy helps reduce sleep problems or caregiver stress. The study will also compare information from questionnaires with information collected by the devices. The results may help researchers design future studies using wearable tools to better support people living with dementia and their caregivers.

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 design aimed at further verifying the safety and efficacy of Wujia Yizhi granules for mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's dementia

This study aims to establish a prospective case registration research platform for electroacupuncture in treating behavioral and psychological symptoms in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease, and to investigate the dose-effect relationship and cost-effectiveness of electroacupuncture for these symptoms.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of electroacupuncture in the treatment of agitation symptoms in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Meanwhile the study aims to explore the brain central mechanism of electroacupuncture in the treatment of agitation symptoms in patients with AD by using resting state functional magnetic resonance technology.
