NCT06801912 · ACTIVE NOT RECRUITING
A BCT Intervention for an Hourly Activity Habit Among Caregivers for Persons With AD/ADRD
This 12-week trial is testing whether personalized text messages can help caregivers of people with Alzheimer's or related dementias build a habit of walking at least 250 steps every hour. It is a behavioral study, not a drug trial. The goal is to see whether roughly half of participants develop that hourly walking habit. Phase NA means this is a behavioral intervention study, not a traditional drug-efficacy phase.
