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 like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Researchers planned to compare a group that took mindfulness classes with a group that received standard care, measuring stress levels and blood markers of inflammation. The study was terminated early and enrolled only 27 participants, so results are limited.
