The treatment of cognitive dysfunction in dementia: a multiple treatments meta-analysis

Antipsychotic treatment for dementia alleviates cognitive dysfunction less effectively than does symptomatic treatment. Alternative therapies are also effective at present. Further research on causes and very early diagnosis of Alzheimer disease is warranted.
