What Are the Treatments for Frontotemporal Dementia?
Frontotemporal dementia, a type of dementia that occurs in the front part of the brain, affects between 140,000 to 350,000 people, according to the Family Caregiver Alliance. Patients with frontotemporal dementia have changes to their personality, thinking, sleeping patterns and behavior. Mayo.Clinic.com notes that no cure for frontotemporal dementia exists, and that the treatments do not slow down the progression of the disease. Instead, the treatments for frontotemporal dementia focus on specific symptoms.
