Lewy Body Dementia: Treatment
Treatments and therapies for lewy body dementia are focused on symptom control.

Certain drugs prescribed for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease are often used to manage symptoms such as rigidity. However, while medications may help to reduce tremor and loss of muscle movement, they may actually exacerbate other symptoms like hallucinations and delusions. Similarly, neuroleptic drugs prescribed for psychiatric symptoms may aggravate movement symptoms. In general, atypical antipsychotic medications are more successful than the former generation of drugs.
