NCT05734638 · ACTIVE NOT RECRUITING
Stress and Blood Pressure Management for Caregivers
This trial tests two behavioral programs for African American women who are caregivers for someone living with dementia and who also have high blood pressure. One program teaches mindfulness and movement. The other adapts the DASH diet for Black Americans. Researchers are testing them separately and combined to see which best reduces stress and blood pressure. This is a Phase N/A trial, meaning it is a real-world behavioral study, not a drug test.
