Current strategies reduce β-amyloid and improve cognitive function in Alzheimer's patients, suggesting ongoing challenges with treatment efficacy.

Significant improvements in cognitive function have been noted in animal models and humans, yet phase 3 trial outcomes remain disappointing.
Gene therapy trials offer potential for restoring lost neuronal function and improving cognitive abilities, but immediate benefits appear limited.
Key challenges include side effects and specificity of treatments, with many new targets emerging from improved understanding of Alzheimer's pathophysiology.
Incomplete coverage of various promising treatment strategies indicates ongoing research and development in the field of Alzheimer's disease.

Alharbi et al. (2024) studied this question.
