dc.description.abstract | Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia are a major factor in the burden of care and medical expenses. Conventional pharmacological treatments do not exert a distinct effect on the benefits versus the risks. The herbal medicine woohwangchungsimwon is frequently prescribed for neuropsychiatric disorders. An effect of woohwangchungsimwon on behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia has been previously reported; however, no clinical studies have been conducted. We aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of woohwangchungsimwon combined with donepezil for alleviating these symptoms in probable Alzheimer's disease. In this randomized, assessor-blinded, parallel-group clinical trial, 74 participants with probable Alzheimer's disease will be divided via block randomization into a woohwangchungsimwon + donepezil combination group (n = 37) or a donepezil single group (n = 37). Participants will include patients under donepezil treatment for at least a month. We will perform the study for 24 weeks. The Neuro-Psychiatric Inventory subscale scores will be the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes will include cognitive function, dementia severity, physical function, quality of life, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. For safety evaluation, we will assess adverse reactions, measure vital signs, and conduct laboratory tests. This is the first trial aiming to confirm the efficacy and safety of woohwangchungsimwon combined with donepezil for alleviating behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. Its findings could provide a basis for their co-administration to control these symptoms in probable Alzheimer's disease. | - |
