Exploring Vitamin B1 in Treating Alzheimer's Disease at the University of Iowa
Vitamin B1 and Alzheimer's Disease
A new clinical research study on Alzheimer's disease at the University of Iowa Health Care is currently seeking volunteers who are in the early stages of the disease. This study aims to examine the impact of vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, and its derivative benfotiamine on memory function and cognitive impairment.
Clinical Trial Details
The clinical trial focuses on how thiamine can potentially improve memory function in individuals experiencing early cognitive decline. Participants will receive careful monitoring and support throughout the trial.
- Objective: To evaluate thiamine's effectiveness in improving cognitive function.
- Eligibility: Individuals diagnosed with early Alzheimer's disease.
- Location: University of Iowa Health Care.
Significance of Thiamine
Research suggests that vitamin B1 plays a crucial role in brain health. Its deficiency has been linked to cognitive deterioration. This trial seeks to highlight the importance of benfotiamine as a potential therapeutic agent for Alzheimer's treatment.
