Why are scientist using a placebo?
Scientists use a placebo to check that the variable they are changing actually is responsible for the results they see. It is like a control experiment, allowing you to compare the trial with it to see if there is any effect. It also counteracts the "placebo effect". For example, this is when someone taking a drug calims they "feel better" despite the drug not actually having any effect. Therefore, by giving some test subjects a placebo and some the drug being tested and not telling them which is which, you can eliminate the placebo effect from the test.

What types of placebo medications are there for someone with alzheimers?
If it's a placebo it is by definition very unlikely to work if the patient is aware it's a placebo. Prescribing a placebo to an unaware patient would be unethical (at least under UK guidelines) Additionally the benefits of a placebo in a condition where the pathology of the disease has few emotional components are likely to be limited. Placebos tend only to work on conditions with an "emotive" component; that is some form of downwards regulatory pathway from higher centres which can be activated to supress symptoms. For example perception of pain has a large higher control component (via the peri-aqueductal grey matter) which can be activated by placebo analgesics.
