Abstract

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the accumulation of amyloid plaques, tau fibrils and generalized neuroinflammation, which lead to functional and memory impairment. Without treatment, several adjuvants are used, such as curcumin. In this context, the objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of curcumin on Alzheimer's disease. The search for “curcumin” + “alzheimer’s disease” resulted from 354 articles, of which 6 were included in this review. Despite the scarcity of research in humans, curcumin proved to be an excellent adjunct to the treatment of the disease, evidenced by its benefits in memory and cognitive function, given by the reduction of the accumulation of senile plaques. In this context, the physiotherapist has full support in recommending periods of administration, provided that they are in safe doses, in order to minimize neurological deficits in these patients.
