Lewy Body Dementia With Behavioral Disturbance

The research database contains demographic and family history information, longitudinal information on the clinical symptoms, neuropsychological profile and treatments, stored biological samples, and brain images of patients with Parkinson's disease and related disorders receiving care at the Parkinson's disease and Movement Disorders Center and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

The goal of this pilot prospective study is to evaluate the effect of tDCS on psychotic-like symptoms in patients with Lewy Body Dementia (LBD). The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the effect of tDCS on neuropsychiatric symptoms, especially psychotic-like symptoms? * What is the impact of tDCS on caregiver burden? Researchers will compare active tDCS (2mA stimulation, anode on the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, cathode on the right fronto-orbital) to Sham tDCS (placebo stimulation, no intensity applied) to see if there is an effect on reducing psychotic-like symptoms and on caregiver burden. Participants will: * Undergo a stimulation phase consisting of 10 tDCS sessions of 20 minutes each, spread over 2 consecutive weeks (5 days with stimulation, 2 days without stimulation, 5 days with stimulation). * perform assessments at T0 (inclusion), T1 (at the end of the stimulation phase), and T2 (follow-up at 8 weeks post stimulation).

Lewy body dementia (LBD) is the 2nd most common neurodegenerative dementia in the US. Optimal care requires an interdisciplinary approach, however often faced barriers include rural residence, limited access to specialists, travel distance, limited awareness of resources, and physical, cognitive, and behavioral impairments making travel to appointments challenging. Delivering interdisciplinary care remotely using video technology has the potential to improve access to care for patients with LBD.
