NCT ID NCT06879665
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests a short online program called 'Well-Beans for Caregivers' for adults caring for someone with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The program consists of three weekly 2-hour sessions based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help caregivers cope with difficult emotions and improve well-being. The study will enroll 30 caregivers to see if the program is feasible, acceptable, and shows signs of improving psychological flexibility.
