The invention provides a
traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating
Alzheimer type dementia. The active ingredients of the
traditional Chinese medicine composition are prepared from the following
traditional Chinese medicine raw materials according to a weight ratio: 7.5 g of
codonopsis, 5 g of
cassia twig, 5 g of radix paeoniae alba, 5 g of licorice, 4.5 g of
polygala, 5 g of
acorus gramineus and 5 g of dragon's bone. After 107 light and medium-degree AD (Alzheimer's
disease) patients undergo treatment for 24 weeks and 48 weeks, the mini-
mental state examination (MMSE)
treatment effect comparison result is as follows:
after treatment for 24 weeks, the effective rate of a
western medicine control group is 55.77% and the effective rate of a traditional Chinese
medicine group is 52.73%; and
after treatment for 48 weeks, the effective rate of the
western medicine control group is 44.23% and the effective rate of the traditional Chinese
medicine group is 71.71%. The result shows that the traditional Chinese
medicine composition for treating
Alzheimer type dementia is superior to
donepezil when used for treating
Alzheimer type dementia. The traditional Chinese medicine composition is clinically applied by direct taking, and is simple for use. The traditional Chinese medicine granules are packaged by
aluminum foil bags,, has small volume and is convenient for carrying, and
moisture absorption is difficult to occur. The traditional Chinese medicine composition provides a new traditional Chinese medicine treatment direction for treating Alzheimer type
dementia, and has greater clinical application value.
