Tele-STELLA Trial Summary
This trial is testing a new intervention to help caregivers of people with dementia understand and reduce the distressing behaviors that come with the progressive disease. The intervention, Tele-STELLA, is conducted over video conference and includes professional "Guides" who help caregivers ("Care Partners") identify strategies to address upsetting behaviors. The goal is to reduce Care Partner burden.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for family members caring for individuals with moderate to late-stage Alzheimer's or related dementias, who are dealing with at least two distressing behaviors from the person they're caring for that happen three or more times a week.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
Tele-STELLA, a videoconference-based program, is being tested. It aims to educate and support caregivers by helping them manage difficult behaviors associated with advanced dementia through sessions with professional Guides.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since Tele-STELLA is an educational and supportive intervention rather than a medication, it may not have traditional side effects. However, participants might experience emotional discomfort discussing challenging caregiving experiences.
