Abstract
Background:
Frontotemporal dementia is a common type of dementia and is a group of progressive neurodegenerative syndromes usually caused by the accumulation of pathological tau or TDP-43 proteins. The review is identifying the clinical measures including neuropsychological scores and functional measures.
Methods:
A systematic review was conducted covering the clinical trials done to investigate the Frontotemporal Dementia. The sample was taken from Pubmed library. 28 results were found in a range of time from 2016 to 2021. The excluded papers were 17.
Results:
A total of 10,349 articles were identified at the first stage of papers selecting. All records were screened in order to include and exclude by title/abstract and then based on full text. After excluding articles by year and type of papers, a total of 28 articles were identified through the databases. Following this, the irrelevant papers from databases were removed from original articles, and finally 11 articles were included based on their title/abstract. Full articles were then sourced for about 600 references. It included 732 patients and 195 controls as a total.
Conclusions:
The review describes the clinical and RCT trials for FTD in the last five years so it can be very updated information for the researchers to cover information required for their researches in the future ones.
