In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Donepezil, as well as the other symptomatic drugs of Alzheimer's disease, is not any more reimbursed by the French healthcare system, due to a controversy about its efficiency. French health authorities currently preconize a non-rug approach based on cognitive remediation or stimulation. The aim of this study is to compare the efficiency of the 2 approaches (non-drug versus donepezil) on the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease after 6 months of treatment.
