Antipsychotic Treatment in Outpatients With Dementia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 January 2005
Extract
Uncontrolled reports suggest that 25% to 75% of patients with behavioral disturbances of dementia respond to conventional neuroleptic drugs. Yet during the past 20 years, results from only four randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of neuroleptics in dementia have been published. These studies were conducted in hospitalized inpatients or nursing home residents.
