New Observational Report: Ivermectin and Cognitive Decline — Anecdotal Accounts in Dementia and End-of-Life Care
A series of six compelling case reports suggests that Ivermectin may have potential off-label benefits in patients experiencing various forms of cognitive decline, including vascular dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and terminal-stage dementia. These unverified personal testimonials, while not part of a controlled clinical study, highlight notable improvements in patient behavior, cognition, and quality of life following administration of Ivermectin.
Case 1: Vascular Dementia
A patient with vascular dementia reportedly showed marked behavioral improvement within one week of Ivermectin use. Family members observed reduced agitation and a more cooperative, calm demeanor.
Case 2: Alzheimer’s Dementia
An 84-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s experienced improved sleep patterns—sleeping through the night during the five days she was administered 12 mg of Ivermectin daily—contrasting with her prior nocturnal restlessness.
Case 3: Cognitive Decline at End-of-Life
An 82-year-old man with severe cognitive decline showed dramatic improvement in mental clarity, conversational ability, energy, and appetite following Ivermectin initiation. His condition improved to the extent that hospice care was withdrawn.
Case 4: New-Onset Dementia
A 93-year-old woman with new cognitive symptoms reportedly returned to her previous mental baseline within 48 hours of starting a daily dose of 24 mg. Family members described the change as “stark” and uncharacteristically rapid.
Case 5: Advanced Dementia in a 97-Year-Old
This patient, previously unresponsive and unable to recognize family, received 24 mg of Ivermectin and was reportedly sitting up, eating, and engaging in meaningful conversation the following day. His cognitive function continued to improve daily.
Case 6: Memory Loss in an 82-Year-Old (Brazil)
Mild improvements in vocabulary, time orientation, and emotional recognition were noted following daily administration of 24 mg of Ivermectin, suggesting possible benefits in earlier cognitive decline.
Conclusion
These six anecdotal cases present intriguing observations that warrant further investigation into the potential neurocognitive benefits of Ivermectin. While not a substitute for clinical trials or evidence-based guidelines, the reported improvements raise important questions and may merit consideration for future research. Ivermectin, under appropriate supervision, could represent a novel adjunct in the symptomatic management of certain neurodegenerative conditions.
