Nurses visit homes to fight pain and depression in aging women

NCT ID NCT04091347

Summary

This small pilot study tested whether eight home visits from a nurse could help older African American women manage chronic pain and depressive symptoms. The program, called DAPPER, combined counseling and practical support to help participants set personal goals for improving their mood and mobility. Researchers measured changes in pain, depression, and body inflammation markers over 12 and 24 weeks to see if the approach showed promise.
