NCT ID NCT04732312

First seen Nov 20, 2025 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study aimed to see if introducing professional home help (like a paid caregiver) improves the quality of life for family members caring for elderly people with memory or thinking problems. Researchers planned to follow 12 caregivers for 90 days, measuring their well-being, stress, and burden. However, the study was stopped early, so the results are limited and not conclusive.
