There is no known treatment that will cure CJD. Researchers have
tried a variety of medications, including steroids, antibiotics, antiviral
drugs used to treat AIDS, and several other experimental drugs. Treatment
consists of making the patient as comfortable as possible.
Morphine and similar drugs can be given to relieve pain. Some other
anti-seizure drugs may be given to prevent seizures. The patient can
be turned frequently to prevent bedsores and be given fluids and nutrition
intravenously.
