Treatment Options for Dementia with Lewy Bodies
DLB has no cure. Treatment for DLB involves addressing the symptoms. Medications are most often used. Other treatments, such as supportive care, physical therapy, and behavioral interventions, may also be used.
It’s important that the doctor treating DLB is familiar with all aspects of the disease, because other specialists are often involved. Because DLB shares features with AD and PD, those features will need to be treated. Many people with DLB, however, can’t tolerate some of the medications for AD or PD, so, caution must be used when prescribing certain medications for DLB.
