What Is Lewy Body Dementia?
10. Treatment
There is no known cure for Lew body dementia. However, medication is available that can at least help to slow the progression of the disease. They can also help to reduce the severity of the patient’s symptoms. These include medications that are also used to help treat Parkinson’s disease.
In addition to medication, therapy is also often used. This can include creating routines and simplifying tasks to make it easier for the patient to do things for themselves. It can also mean making changes to their living quarters to reduce clutter and distracting noises. People close to the patient may also need to be taught how to behave around them.
