- disease of the elderly (over 65 years)
- acquired disease, develops gradually and imperceptibly

The International Neurological Center Ciren, located in Havana, Cuba, offers a program of restorative neurology for patients with Alzheimer's disease, which consists of multifactorial, intensive and individual therapy based on the principles of neuroplasticity. The peculiarity of the program is the use of a unique Cuban drug NeuralSIM (NeuroEpo) in patients with early and moderate stages of dementia in Alzheimer's disease.
General information about the program
- The first stage - upon arrival at Ciren, the patient undergoes an assessment week, during which the degree of neurological impairment, the severity and areas of the identified damage, the general clinical condition and its consequences in the current state are determined, as well as the recovery possibilities that can be achieved and the necessary time that must be spent, with the help of the Neurological Recovery Program of CIREN clinic.
