Dementia & Alzheimer's
Comprehensive cognitive evaluation and neurorestoration programme to slow cognitive decline in dementia and related conditions.
Neurorestorative Approach
How We Approach This Condition
Dementia is not merely a memory problem — it is a clinical syndrome encompassing progressive decline across multiple cognitive domains including memory, language, visuospatial function, problem-solving ability, and proficiency in daily activities. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form, accounting for approximately 60–70% of cases. However, there are various other types of dementia — vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, frontotemporal dementia — each with distinct clinical profiles and management implications.
Early diagnosis is the most powerful tool against dementia’s impact. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) often precedes dementia and represents the optimal intervention window. Comprehensive evaluation combining detailed history, neuropsychological testing, and brain-activity mapping with QEEG provides a far more complete picture than simple screening tests alone.
Neurorestorative Approach to Dementia
QEEG in dementia and MCI patients frequently reveals characteristic patterns: slowing of dominant brain-wave frequencies, reduced coherence between regions that should be connected, and increased slow-wave activity. These patterns can help differentiate dementia types and guide more precise interventions.
Transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) targeting the prefrontal and parietal cortex aims to increase activation in networks involved in memory and executive function. Neurofeedback provides active brain training to enhance activation frequencies associated with alertness and cognitive processing. Photobiomodulation supports cellular energy metabolism in neural tissue, which is known to be impaired in neurodegenerative conditions.
This programme always includes a component for family and caregivers — education about effective communication, home-based cognitive stimulation, and management of behavioural symptoms that often represent the primary challenge in day-to-day care.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can dementia be cured?
- Most forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, do not yet have a permanently curative therapy. Various approaches including neurorestoration aim to slow the progression of decline, preserve remaining function, and improve quality of life.
- At which stage is neurorestoration most beneficial?
- Intervention is most effective in the mild to moderate stages, when sufficient cognitive reserve remains to be optimised. Even at early stages, this approach can help maintain independence for longer.
- How can the family be involved in the programme?
- Family involvement is strongly encouraged and is part of the programme. Education about behavioural management, home-based cognitive stimulation, and psychological support for caregivers are inseparable components.
- Are there objective tests to monitor progress?
- Yes. Periodic neuropsychological evaluations and repeat QEEG provide objective data on changes in cognitive function over time, enabling evidence-based programme adjustments.
