Quick takeaway
This trial reported quality-of-life gains when occupational therapy was added to standard treatment. The report treats it as a pragmatic non-pharmacologic way to reduce functional decline and caregiver strain.
Why this matters
Included because it is registered, pragmatic, and focused on functional preservation rather than only symptom management.
Key caution
The intervention window was short and longer-term durability is unclear.
