Donepezil Versus Non-drug Treatment in Alzheimer's Disease.
Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Summary
Donepezil, as well as the other symptomatic drugs of Alzheimer's disease, is not any more reimbursed by the French healthcare system, due to a controversy about its efficiency. French health authorities currently preconize a non-rug approach based on cognitive remediation or stimulation. The aim of this study is to compare the efficiency of the 2 approaches (non-drug versus donepezil) on the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease after 6 months of treatment.
