Lucid Episodes Among People With Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias and Their Impact on Family Caregiver Stress and Grief (LEAD): Protocol for a Longitudinal Observational Study

BMJ Open

Faegre Drinker Consulting principal Terry Frangiosa co-authored an article for BMJ Open titled “Lucid Episodes Among People With Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias and Their Impact on Family Caregiver Stress and Grief (LEAD): Protocol for a Longitudinal Observational Study.”

The article examines how people living with Alzheimer’s disease have been reported to exhibit transient recovery of communication or behavioral abilities originally thought lost. Often under-investigated, the article explains how advancing the scientific research of the incidence, prevalence, and predictors of lucid episodes can help provide a better understanding of their causes and implications for patients and caregivers.
