Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that affects the brain, leading to gradual memory loss, difficulties with concentration, and changes in behavior. It is the most common form of dementia and primarily occurs in older adults. The course of the disease gradually impacts daily functioning, making even simple activities such as speaking, decision-making, and organizing daily life more difficult.

The disease manifests differently in each individual. Some patients initially present memory problems, while others exhibit changes in mood, personality, or communication. Symptoms evolve gradually, and their intensity may vary depending on the stage of the disease.

Clinical signs that require attention include:

  • Frequent forgetting of recent events and information
  • Repeated questions or repetitive behaviors
  • Difficulty finding words or following conversations
  • Misplacing objects and inability to retrace steps to locate them
  • Confusion regarding time, date, or place
  • Changes in mood and personality, such as irritability or social withdrawal

Early recognition of these symptoms and consultation with a specialized healthcare professional are critical for disease management. Although there is currently no treatment to reverse the condition, support and appropriate interventions can improve quality of life, enhance daily functioning, and provide guidance and relief for both patients and their families.

How Alzheimer’s Disease Is Treated At MARIEVA MEDCARE

At Marieva Medcare, the management of Alzheimer’s disease follows a holistic approach that combines biological and psychological interventions, aiming to improve cognitive functioning, emotional stability, and the quality of life of patients and their families. Ozone therapy is applied to enhance cellular oxygenation and cerebral microcirculation, promoting the regeneration of nerve cells and supporting the functionality of brain networks associated with memory and concentration. Intravenous (IV) therapies provide targeted administration of vitamins, trace elements, and micronutrients that contribute to neuroprotection and to the improvement of cognitive and physical condition.

Complementarily, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is applied, a non-invasive neurostimulation method that targets specific brain regions involved in memory, learning, and executive functioning. Through the modulation of neuronal activity and the enhancement of neuroplasticity, rTMS has been shown to contribute to the improvement of cognitive functions, the stabilization of disease progression, and the reduction of accompanying symptoms such as apathy and emotional dysregulation.

At the same time, sessions with a specialized psychologist include individual support for the management of anxiety, confusion, and emotional distress, while family therapy offers a framework for information, communication, and emotional support for relatives. Psychiatric monitoring is incorporated within this framework for the clinical evaluation of disease progression, the management of possible psychiatric symptoms, and the prescription of pharmacotherapy when necessary, ensuring the stability of neurochemical balance. The coordinated implementation of all these interventions allows for a comprehensive, individualized approach that supports cognitive functioning, reduces stress-related factors, and enhances the patient’s daily autonomy, creating a scientifically substantiated framework of care for Alzheimer’s disease.
