Benefits of Strength Training in Informal Caregivers of Patients With Alzheimer's Disease
Effectiveness of a Combined Strength Training and Progressive Muscle Relaxation Program in Reducing Frailty in Informal Caregivers of People With Alzheimer's Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Informal caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease experience high physical and psychological burden, increasing their risk of frailty, anxiety, and caregiver burnout. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined strength training and progressive muscle relaxation program compared with progressive muscle relaxation alone. The intervention will last 10 weeks, with assessments conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and at a 3-month follow-up. Primary outcomes include frailty, anxiety, and caregiver burden.
