Abstract
|

|
|
Treatment of BPSD is a crucial problem in the care of patient of AD. Psychotrophic medications are used very commonly to reduce the frequency and severity of these behaviors. However, the evidence in support of their usefulness is limited, and side effects are frequent and often hazardous. Non-pharmacological strategies such as behavioral modification, activity program, carer education and music therapy are promoted as safe, humane and at least as effective as medications, but the evidence for this view is lacking. The purpose of this paper is to provide a ewview of relevant research findings concerning non-pharmacological approaches to behavioral disturbances in people with dementia.
