Exercise program for African American Alzheimer's caregivers
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study is for African American caregivers of someone with Alzheimer's or a related dementia. It explores whether a gentle exercise program can help you feel better and manage the stress of caregiving.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
