Many patients suffer from dementia in its most common form, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which is characterized by general cognitive impairments in cognitive domains such as memory, time-space orientation, working memory and language. AD increases the suffering and burden of patients and caregivers because of the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) and impairment in the activity of practical living.1 The number of AD patients is expected to increase to more than 90 million worldwide by the year 2050, with the recent rapid increase in people’s life expectancy.2 Although not yet Print ISSN 1738-3684 / On-line ISSN 1976-3026 OPEN ACCESS
