title: [Non pharmacologic intervention therapy in Alzheimer's disease].
abstract: Actually, no curative treatment is available to fight against Alzheimer's disease. Previous non pharmacologic intervention trials had promising findings. However the lack of scientific validation and standardized modelling restrict their use. Among these techniques, sparing skills therapy (SST) seems promising. This form of care is for patients with early stage of the disease and combines the use of cognitive and functional residual, taking into account the wishes of the patient and their caregiver, the rehabilitation of their environment and the education of the caregiver. The SST is developing in France within specialized teams inside the nursing services at home and is currently the subject of further research.
