Zusammenfassung

Verhaltensstörungen und affektive Symptome bei Demenzpatienten stellen aufgrund ihrer Häufigkeit eine besondere therapeutische und sozioökonomische Herausforderung dar. In den letzten Jahren konnte insbesondere im Rahmen von metaanalytischen Erhebungen zunehmend Evidenz für wirksame medikamentöse und nicht-medikamentöse Therapien dieser Symptome erarbeitet werden. Dabei limitiert aber die neuronale Vorschädigung bei Demenz erheblich die Dosierungsmöglichkeiten und macht wegen rascher und schwerer auftretenden Nebenwirkungen die häufige Überprüfung von Indikation und Nutzen nötig. Der Artikel gibt einen Überblick zum Kenntnisstand der verschiedenen Interventionsstrategien.

Summary

Behavioural disorders and affective symptoms in dementia constitutea common therapeutic and socio-economic challenge. Recent meta-analyses addressing these problems provide evidence for effective pharmacological and nonpharmacological strategies. Due to dementia-associated neuronal damage pharmacological interventions often cause major side effects that demanda frequent assessment of indication and benefits of the psychopharmacological drugs used in these patients. This article summarizes the current knowledge of different therapeutic interventions.
