Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting elderly individuals. It is the most common form of dementia, characterized by cognitive decline, memory loss, and behavioral changes. Despite extensive research, a cure for the AD is yet to be discovered. Current treatments for AD are primarily symptomatic and targeted at delaying AD development. A comprehensive summary of two leading and promising treatments in various options available for AD will be presented in this research, including stem cell therapy and the ketogenic diet therapy. And this research will discuss these treatments' underlying mechanisms, effectiveness, and potential adverse effects. Finally, this research will highlight the challenges and future directions in developing effective treatments for the AD. This research intends to provide the latest summary of the AD treatment's current status and the progress toward finding a cure for this devastating disease.
