Abstract

AD is a degenerative mental disorder that irreversibly causes patients’ cognitive impairment, reduced attention span, emotional disturbances, and personality changes. The current study of the pathogenesis of AD mainly contains the Aβ protein deposit theory, Tau Protein Hyperphosphorylation theory, Central Cholinergic Injury hypothesis and Inflammation hypothesis. This paper seeks to pursue a wider understanding of AD and identify potential breakthroughs in this field by providing a structured summary of the currently proposed pathogenesis and current measures for the mitigation of individual symptoms. Therefore, based on the hypotheses of AD causality, this paper proposes alleviation methods that tackle each of these hypotheses and solutions about Chinese medicine. Through the methods of review and literature analysis, this paper summarizes the system of pathogenesis and relief methods for AD, and discovers that current popular pathologic processes still harbor misconceptions that need further investigation. Only medications that specifically target AD symptoms have been found to be effective in reducing patient discomfort, and some traditional Chinese medicines have been shown to be effective in preventing and treating AD symptoms.
