Russian doctors unveil new Alzheimer’s treatment using unique technique
Russian doctors propose an innovative Alzheimer’s treatment strategy based on a world-first selective plasma DNA adsorption technique.
Russian doctors have unveiled a groundbreaking Alzheimer's treatment strategy utilizing a novel selective plasma DNA adsorption technique developed at Sechenov Medical University in Moscow. This extracorporeal therapy targets and binds DNA-containing structures from blood plasma, marking the first of its kind globally.
The treatment course comprises three sessions, conducted two to three days apart. During each session, plasma volume equivalent to 200% is processed, with patients undergoing pre- and post-treatment evaluations. Positive results emerged three months following the treatment, demonstrating improvements in episodic verbal memory, information processing speed, attention, and certain cognitive functions as per neuropsychological assessments.
Alzheimer's disease, a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, has prompted ongoing medical research in search of therapies to slow its progression and enhance patients' quality of life.
