What this trial studies
This Phase 2 interventional study evaluates the Recharge Behavioral Therapy (RBT) compared with a traditional educational/resources program for informal caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Eligible caregivers must be 18 or older, spend at least 8 hours per week caregiving, and have access to a smartphone or tablet with internet. The trial aims to determine whether RBT can lessen caregiver stress and depressive symptoms over the intervention period. Outcomes will inform the potential for broader implementation among caregiver support services. Recruitment is centered at Photozig, Inc. in Campbell, California.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, caregivers may experience reduced stress and depressive symptoms and improved quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Previous caregiver support interventions show potential benefits for stress and mood, though results vary by modality and population; this study tests a targeted behavioral therapy approach.
