Integrative Therapeutic Programme to Regulate Expressed Emotions Among Informal Caregivers of People With Dementia
This trial tests a behavioural support programme called COPE, designed for informal caregivers of people with dementia. It aims to reduce caregiver stress, depression, and emotionally strained interactions with the person they care for. Delivered both in-person and online, it is compared against standard therapy. This is a Phase NA trial, meaning it is evaluating a structured programme rather than a drug — focused on real-world effectiveness.
