Lucid episodes are an unexpected occurrence among people with late-stage Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
But these spontaneous events -- in which a person temporarily regains an ability to communicate that appeared to be permanently lost -- are not always a sign of impending death, a recent study argues.
This runs contrary to prior research that indicated these episodes might signal imminent death, said lead researcher Joan Griffin, with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. The least common occurs within a week of death, but also coincides with a visit from family or friends, results show. About 12% experience this type.
Researcher next plan an ongoing study to track lucid episodes among patients as well as how caregivers respond to them.
