Management Toolkit

The DIAMOND-Lewy team developed a  Management Toolkit, to help clinicians with the management of Lewy Body Dementia, and Dementia with Lewy Bodies. The Toolkit comprises of 3 closely related components:

  • Management Overview - synopsis of major symptoms in Lewy body dementia and their management
    ‌    ‌
  • ‌Symptom management summaries - one page summaries of the management of key symptoms (cognitive, neuropsychiatric, motor, autonomic and sleep) in Lewy body dementia

Complimentary to these resources is a published review of the management of Lewy body dementia:

Taylor, J. P., McKeith, I. G., Burn, D. J., Boeve, B. F., Weintraub,D., Bamford, C.,  Allan, L., Thomas, A.J.,  O'Brien, J. T. (2019). New evidence on the management of Lewy body dementia: The Lancet Neurology doi.org/10.1016/S1474-4422(19)30153-X‌.
