Caregiver training to prevent bedsores in dementia patients at home
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a program that trains family caregivers can help prevent bedsores (pressure ulcers) in people with dementia who are cared for at home. If you are a caregiver for someone with dementia, you might help them avoid painful skin wounds.
