NCT ID NCT06389032
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 12-week program called PERSEVERE for 502 family caregivers of people with Lewy body dementia (LBD). Caregivers are matched with a trained peer mentor who guides them through lessons on LBD and provides support. The goal is to see if this reduces caregiver strain, improves their attitudes and knowledge, and boosts the quality of life for the person with LBD, compared to just receiving educational links.
