Dementia with Lewy bodies is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the presence of abnormal protein deposits, known as Lewy bodies, in the brain. DLB is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease, and it is associated with a wide range of cognitive, behavioral, and motor symptoms. The progressive nature of DLB can significantly impact the quality of life of affected individuals. Therefore, enhancing the quality of life in dementia patients with Lewy bodies is of paramount importance. This abstract provides an overview of current strategies and interventions aimed at improving the quality of life in DLB patients. It highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, including pharmacological treatments, non-pharmacological interventions, and caregiver support. The abstract also discusses emerging technologies and innovative approaches that hold promise in enhancing the quality of life for individuals with DLB. By addressing the diverse needs and challenges faced by DLB patients, it is possible to promote a better quality of life and overall well-being for these individuals and their caregivers.
