There is currently no cure for Alzheimer's Dementia. 

We cannot reverse impairment from AD.

Early intervention is the key, but often providers do not have prior functioning levels to compare current memory functioning with- which can delay diagnosis and treatment.

Forethought Psychology is offering baseline memory testing with written score reports that can be provided to your doctors in the event that you experience memory concerns in the future.  No referral needed.

Statistics:

• In the the United States, 3.8% of men and 4.2% of women have a dementia diagnosis. 
• Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, and may contribute to 60–70% of cases. 
• Research shows that most people currently living with dementia have not received a formal diagnosis. It is estimated that only 20-50% of dementia cases in the US are recognized and documented in primary care.

Clinical trials play a vital role in answering the specific questions that arise around treatments and drugs in clinical research.

These questions include:

• How effective is it?
• Is it more effective than an established treatment?
• Is it safe? What are its side effects?

By more people engaging in clinical trials, researchers can begin to answer more of these questions in the pursuit of Alzheimer’s and dementia drugs and treatments. 

Clinical trials need healthy participants, as well as participants experiencing memory loss.

Unfortunately, too few people volunteer for clinical trials. It is not common to talk about participating in clinical research after diagnosis and many people are unaware of clinical trial opportunities.
