Due to the progressive, continuous nature of the disease, improvement over time seldom occurs in patients with<unk>  as it often does in patients with aphasias caused by trauma to the brain. In terms of medical approaches to treating<unk> , there are currently no drugs specifically used for patients with<unk> , nor are there any specifically designed interventions for<unk> . A large reason for this is the limited research that has been done on this disease. However, in some cases, patients with<unk>  are prescribed the same drugs Alzheimer's patients are normally prescribed. The<unk>  approach to treating<unk>  has been with behavioral treatment, with the hope that these methods can provide new ways for patients to communicate in order to compensate for their deteriorated abilities. Speech therapy can assist an individual with strategies to overcome difficulties. There are three very broad categories of therapy interventions for aphasia: restorative therapy approaches, compensatory therapy approaches, and social therapy approaches. Rapid and sustained improvement in speech and dementia in a patient with<unk>  utilizing off-label perispinal etanercept, an anti-TNF treatment strategy also used for Alzheimer's, has been reported. A video depicting the patient's improvement was published in conjunction with the print article. These findings have not been independently replicated and remain controversial.
