Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The present studies demonstrated that pro-inflammation, systemic oxidative stress and dysfunction in the brain-gut microbiota axis were involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. These results implied the decreased regulation of inflammation-associated risk and microbiota in AD patients could provide the novel strategies for combating the disease. This study was designed to assess the addition of Wismemo in treatment of cholinesterase inhibitors (such as donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine) in the AD patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Previously studies have shown some probiotics could improve stress-related diseases such as anxiety, autism, depression and schizophrenia might be through regulating brain-gut microbiota axis, pro-inflammation and oxidative stress. Although recent clinical study indicated that mix-probiotics (containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacteria bifidum and Lactobacillus fermentum) consumption could improve the cognitive function of dementia patients.

In this clinical study, whether Genmont specific strain probiotics could improve the clinical syndromes and delay worsens in Alzheimer's dementia patients with regular treatment were clarified. A Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial would be carried out. AD's patients with regular treatment are additive consumption multi-strain probiotic supplement (Wismemo). Half of participants will receive Wismeno and regular treatment in combination, while the other half will receive placebo and regular treatment in combination. To evaluate of the effect of probiotic supplementation on cognitive, emotional and related status on Alzheimer's dementia patients.
