Mindfulness for caregivers: a Stress-Reduction experiment that ended early

This study aimed to see if a mindfulness-based stress reduction program could lower stress and inflammation in people caring for someone with a severe psychiatric disorder. Researchers planned to compare a group taking mindfulness classes with a group receiving standard care, measuring stress levels and blood markers of inflammation. The study was terminated early and enrolled only 27 participants instead of the planned 80, so results are limited.
