Clinical Trial Summary

This research study will explore the effects of an online heart-focused breathing intervention on 20 informal caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) over a period of two weeks.


Clinical Trial Description

Informal caregivers are often live-in, unpaid spouses, relatives, partners, or friends that help with a loved one's activities of daily living. As a result of caring for a person with Alzheimer's Disease (AD), many informal caregivers experience caregiver burden. The demanding physical, emotional, and financial responsibilities to care for an AD patient can be detrimental to the caregiver's health.

A group of 20 men and women who consider themselves the primary caregiver of a person with AD will be recruited and enrolled into the study. Participants will be randomized into one of two study arms, (a) the modified-waitlist control arm or (b) the intervention arm. The study will explore the effects of an online heart-focused breathing intervention on heart rate variability (measured by the Welltory app on their smart device), perceived burden, stress, and quality of life in the intervention arm over a two-week period. ;
