The doll therapy as a first-line treatment for behavioral and psychologic symptoms of dementia in nursing homes residents: A randomized, controlled study
Patients living with dementia are severely affected by the development of behavioral and psychologic symptoms (BPSD) which represent a burden for patients and caregivers. The use of psychotropic drugs in the control of BPSD is widely diffused, however the use of a first-line non-pharmacologic approach is highly recommended.
