| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined the relation between the superficial cerebral blood flow and the peripheral symptomof dementia by using the near infrared spectroscopy. The Alzheimer type dementia patients and the dementia with Lewy bodies patients and the mild cognitive decline patients were performed the eye opening and eye closure test and the handkerchief test in the light and the dark place. The peculiar blood flow pattern to the each disease were discovered. We show that the dynamic blood flow of cortex not the deep part of brain works to the behavioral symptom of dementia (anxiety, depression, fugue, sleep loss, and delusion, etc.). These results have the possibility of the determination of the effectiveness of the pharmacotherapy and the non pharmacotherapy and these lead to the nursing assessment at early stage of dementia. These are the extremely meaningful research results in cure and care of the behavioral symptom of dementia.
