Analysis of the 15 studies found that a majority reported increased survival of riluzole vs. riluzole-free patients. In 8 studies, the median survival for patients treated with riluzole was 6-19 months longer compared with patients not treated with riluzole ( p < 0.05). Three additional studies reported a clinically meaningful treatment effect ...

Motor difficulties associated with FTD may present with parkinsonian symptoms or motor neuron disease, for which riluzole is indicated as therapy. Compared to idiopathic Parkinson's disease, FTD-related atypical parkinsonism is generally not responsive to dopamine replacement therapies, but a small percentage of patients may experience improvement with a trial of carbidopa-levodopa.
