NCT06880822 · NOT YET RECRUITING
Closed-Loop and Neuroplasticity-Based Mindfulness Program for Family Caregivers
This trial tests whether a mindfulness program that adapts to each person, using a mobile app and in-person sessions, lowers stress in family caregivers of people with dementia. It is compared with standard mindfulness and with basic dementia-care education. Stress is checked at 8 weeks and 6 months. Phase is not applicable, since this is a behavioral study, not a drug.
You may qualify if
- Age 18 or above;
- Family caregiver of an individual who has been living in the community with a confirmed medical diagnosis of any type of dementia (verified through NGO records or care recipient's medical records) for more than one year;
- Living in the same household as the care recipient;
- Providing care with daily contact of 4 hours or more.
You're excluded if
- Has participated in any structured mind-body intervention or structured psychosocial intervention within 6 months prior to recruitment;
- Has an acute psychiatric condition that is potentially life-threatening or would limit participation in the study (indicated by answering "yes" to any of the six questions on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale).
