NCT04787068 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This randomized control study is to test effectiveness of occupational therapy support for informal caregivers of older adults with cognitive decline. Care recipients are community-living older adults who are eligible for a nursing home level of care. At baseline challenges that caregivers are facing will be expressed and individualized solutions will be identified and delivered for the treatment and educational material will be given to the control group. Two and four months later, follow up interview will be made to identify changes in burden, depression, fatigue, self-efficacy, and positive aspect of care giving. It is expected to show when the effectiveness becomes clear.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04787068
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04787068 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 35 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is State University of New York at Buffalo, which has 234 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 6 conditions, with Depression appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Occupational Therapy support is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04787068 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
