Question

What is the recovery time after stem cell therapy for Alzheimer's Disease?

Infusion is usually outpatient with 1–2 days rest. Any cognitive stabilisation, if it occurs, unfolds over weeks to months. Patients typically continue approved medications and may begin amyloid-targeting antibodies during or after. There is no period in which Alzheimer's reverses; decline is expected to continue, with possible slowing of rate.

What the evidence shows for Alzheimer's Disease

Forty-one registered trials and 9 recruiting studies investigate stem-cell therapy in Alzheimer's. Small cohorts describe modest cognitive-score changes over 6–12 months; most are uncontrolled. Some show shifts in cerebrospinal-fluid or PET amyloid/tau markers, with less consistent functional gains. No trial has prevented decline or shown reversal of neuronal loss. Approved amyloid-targeting antibodies (lecanemab, aducanumab) show modest slowing of early decline — stem-cell benefit is not proven to match them.
