Nonpharmacological Interventions PIA: The forgotten utility of case studies: examining non-pharmacologic interventions in individuals with ADRD - Part 1

Recorded: October 27, 2020

While the move toward evaluating treatment effects with ever-larger sample sizes comes with many benefits, those with less common types of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) often fail to meet inclusion criteria and lack the “numbers” to justify a full-scale trial. Thus, knowledge about the optimal treatment approaches lag because of this smaller “market share”. The purpose of this session is to embrace the robust history of intervening for, and learning from, individual cases and case series. For each case, we review the relevant history and clinical findings that led to the use of a non-pharmacologic intervention as well as the data supporting or refuting its efficacy
