First seen Aug 17, 2026 · Last updated Aug 17, 2026
Summary
This study follows 600 people aged 55 to 85 with early, middle, or late-stage Alzheimer's disease for 12 months. Researchers will track changes in memory, daily activities, behavior, and traditional Chinese medicine symptom patterns. They will also observe whether those receiving stage-based sequential traditional Chinese medicine show different outcomes and what side effects occur. The goal is to understand how the disease evolves and whether this personalized approach might help.
