NCT ID NCT06002919
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests a 12-week mindful walking program for older South Asian family caregivers (age 45+) who feel stressed and care for someone with cognitive disabilities. Fifty participants will be split into two groups: one does mindful walking with a Fitbit and motivational texts, the other does not. The goal is to see if the program is practical and helps reduce stress, improve thinking, and boost physical activity.
