Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • At the end of the 12th week of treatment, the change value of ADAS-Cog score of subjects in the two groups compared with baseline

    The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) was developed in the 1980s to assess the level of cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease.The score of the scale is about 0-75 points, and the higher the score, the cognitive function decreases significantly

    12 week

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • At each follow-up point, the change value of ADAS cog scale score of subjects in the two groups compared with baseline;

    52week

  • At each follow-up point, the change value of HAMD-17 scale score of subjects in the two groups compared with baseline;

    52week

  • At each follow-up point, the change value of HAMA scale score of subjects in the two groups compared with baseline;

    52week

Study Arms (2)

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor(SSRIs)combined with Electronic cognitive training

EXPERIMENTAL

SSRIs(Fluoxetine, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline, citalopram, escitalopram)combined with Electronic cognitive training (60min, once a day)

Drug: Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor(SSRIs,Fluoxetine, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline, citalopram, escitalopram)

SSRIs antidepressants combined with blank control Electronic training for 52 weeks

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

SSRIs drug treatment (Fluoxetine, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline, citalopram, escitalopram)combined with the blank control Electronic training(subjects were allowed to use electronic products to browse the web and watch the news for 1 hours every day)

Drug: Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor(SSRIs,Fluoxetine, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline, citalopram, escitalopram)

Interventions

Subjects in the intervention group received SSRIs antidepressants combined with Electronic cognitive training based on mobile phone platform for 52 weeks (once a day, 60min each time)
