Summary

This study tests whether 8 weeks of mindfulness classes, taken together by people with Parkinson's and their family caregivers, can reduce negative emotions like stress, anxiety, and depression. About 200 Chinese patient-caregiver pairs will either take the classes or continue usual care. Researchers will also check if the program improves their relationship, quality of life, and even gut health.
