ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Sequential therapeutic trials for catatonoid frontal signs in clinically-evident frontotemporal dementia (n = 2) revealed differential benefits for lorazepam, amantadine, memantine, pramipexole, aripiprazole, quetiapine, citalopram, and donepezil, although certain signs also worsened."3.76Differential pharmacological responses of catatonia-like signs in frontotemporal dementia. ( Greenway, LL; Kuppuswamy, PS; Lauterbach, EC, 2010)
