• Antioxidants have gained attention as potential adjunctive therapies for HAND due to their neuroprotective properties.
• N-acetylcysteine is a promising antioxidant that may help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain.
• Coenzyme Q10 is another antioxidant that has been explored for its neuroprotective effects.
• Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil, have anti-inflammatory properties and may offer some cognitive benefits.
• Psychostimulants are medications that may be considered in managing HAND, primarily to address cognitive deficits, including problems with attention and concentration.
• Methylphenidate, commonly used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), has been studied in individuals with HAND. It may improve attention and cognitive function.
• Modafinil is another psychostimulant investigated for its potential to enhance alertness and cognitive performance in individuals with HAND.
• Cognitive rehabilitation programs are essential components of HAND management. These programs involve cognitive training and strategies to help individuals with HAND improve their daily functioning, memory, and problem-solving skills.
• Supportive care measures, including mental health counseling, occupational therapy, and social support, are integral in addressing the mental health implications of HAND and enhancing the quality of life for affected individuals.
