The new study revealed that a number of patients with dementia experience memory brief returns more than six months before they die, suggesting different types of lucid episodes not all signaling impending death.
Nearly 20% of caregivers reported lucid episodes within seven days of death, while more than a third said the patient passed away a week to six months after the episode.
Some lucid episodes in dementia patients can be triggered by external stimuli like the presence of loved ones or music, indicating various possible causes for these occurrences.
Unhabitual visits by family members may prompt a lucid response in a patient with dementia, with more frequent lucid episodes coinciding with visits from non-resident children.
