Abstract:
Alzheimer's disease(AD) has a high incidence rate and insidious onset, and it is the main type of senile dementia, severely affecting the survival and death of patients. The main clinical manifestations include memory loss, aphasia, apraxias, agnosia, and changes in executive dysfunction, personality, and behaviors, and its pathogenesis is not yet clear. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of traditional Chinese medicine treatments for AD, including Chinese herbal compounds, external treatments of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), and a combination of TCM and Western medicine, with significant efficacy and no obvious toxic side effects. Starting from the understanding of the pathogenesis of AD in TCM, this article comprehensively summarized the theoretical basis of TCM in treating the disease, providing a theoretical basis for clinical research.
