The objective of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of memantine, a glutamatergic modulator, in patients suffering from dementia associated with Parkinson’s disease (PDD), an increasingly common complication of PD. This was a 22-week trial of 25 participants with a DSM-IV diagnosis of PDD who were randomized to either placebo or 20 […]
Objective: Memantine, an uncompetitive antagonist of N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptors, may have a role in managing symptoms associated with dementia in Parkinson’s disease (PDD), although its role in improving patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) has not been extensively investigated. PROs may be more sensitive than standard psychometric measures for detecting change in complex conditions such as PDD. The aim […]
