| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Previous studies suggest that lithium inhibits the progression of cognitive dysfunction of Alzheimer disease. In 2015, we conducted a systematic review and a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and reported that lithium may have the effect of inhibiting the progress of cognitive dysfunction on Alzheimer disease. Based on these results, we started a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized controlled trial on the efficacy and safety of lithium on Alzheimer disease for Japanese population. Currently, this trial is recruiting subjects.
