Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial tests whether ergonomic training, exercise training, or a combination of both can reduce caregiver burden, musculoskeletal pain, burnout, and fatigue in people caring for dependent individuals. Caregivers aged 18-65 who provide at least 4 hours of care daily for 6 months or more are eligible. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: ergonomic training, exercise training, both, or usual care. The study measures changes in burden, pain, sleep quality, and knowledge over 12 weeks, with a follow-up after the intervention ends.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Ergonomic training and exercise training, alone or combined
What this could lead to
If effective, this could point toward practical training programs that reduce physical strain and improve well-being for caregivers of dependent individuals.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 48 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The interventions require time and commitment, and benefits may vary.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
