Descripción detallada
Presently some 4.5 million people are afflicted with Alzheimer's disease in the United States. At present pharmacologic treatment, although beneficial, is not curative. Certain nonpharmacologic treatments have assisted caregivers of AD patients by reducing their stress and burden, and others have aided patients, by improving their mood and physical functioning. Comprehensive, individualized approaches to improving Alzheimer's patients' symptomatology and caregiver stress and burden have not been systematically investigated in Alzheimer's patient care. This study seeks to train and counsel caregivers as well as develop an individualized, comprehensive management program that will seek to enhance the functioning of each patient participant.
Patients are randomly placed into one of two groups. Both groups receive memantine and comprehensive evaluations at baseline, 4, 12,28 and 52 weeks. Additionally, group 1 receives an individualized management program, which consists of home visits to get the patient exercising, doing enjoyable activities and cognitive stimulation, educational sessions for caregivers on coping with difficult situations and a caregiver support group to help with questions and emotional concerns.

Change From Baseline of the Functional Assessment Staging Disability Score (FAST-DS)
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline to 28 weeks
|
The FAST-DS assesses the magnitude of progressive functional deterioration by identifying characteristic progressive disabilities in participants with AD. Scores range from 1.0 (normal) to 7f (severe loss of ability, not even able to hold up head independently). Scores are made up of stages (1 through 7) and substages (from a to e for stage 6; from a to f for stage 7). The following scoring for substages is applied: 6a=6.0, 6b=6.2, 6c=6.4, 6d=6.6, 6e=6.8, 7a=7.0, 7b=7.2, 7c=7.4, 7d=7.6, 7e=7.8, 7f=8.0. Additionally, non-consecutive deficits are noted and scored as follows: full stage non-consecutive deficit=1.0, non-consecutive substage deficit=0.2. The overall FAST-DS score = (FAST Stage Score) + (Each Non-Consecutive FAST disability scored as described) |

Change From Baseline of The Behavioral Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease Frequency Weighted Severity Scale (BEHAVE-AD-FW)
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline to 28 weeks
|
The BEHAVE-AD-FW measures the frequency and severity of 25 behavioral symptoms with a total score and global rating.
Individual behavioral assessments are rated for severity (0=none to 3-most severe) and frequency (1=least frequent to 4=most frequent) which are then multiplied; scores for each of the 25 items are then summed.
Possible total scores range from 0 to 297.
The global rating is scored from 0 (not dangerous to patient, not troubling to caregiver) to 3 (dangerous to patient, highly troubling to caregiver).
Global rating was not analyzed for this study.
The higher the score the worse the outcome.

Change From Baseline of the Revised Memory and Behavior Problems Checklist (RMBPC): Frequency
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline to 28 weeks
|
The RMBPC is a 24 item rating scale of the frequency of memory and behavioral problems in the AD subject and of how upset or "bothered" their caregivers react.
Frequency is rated from 0 (least frequent) to 4 (most frequent) and caregiver reaction is rated from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely bothered or upset).
Higher scores indicate more frequent memory and behavioral problems in the subject with AD as well as a more upset or bothered caregiver.
Possible scores range from 0 to 96.
