NCT ID NCT04867122

Summary

This study tested whether a short therapy program could help family members caring for cancer patients. Over 500 unpaid caregivers were randomly assigned to receive either a special problem-solving therapy or a general support session, in addition to their usual care. The goal was to see if the therapy could reduce feelings of anxiety and depression in these caregivers.
