NCT ID NCT04268979
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a web-based tool called eSNAP, combined with a caregiver navigator, could help family caregivers of brain cancer patients feel less anxious and burdened. The tool helps caregivers map out their support network, while the navigator provides guidance. Researchers measured caregiver well-being using standard anxiety, depression, and burden scales. The study involved 296 participants and has already been completed.
