ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how pain and discomfort affect caregivers who are taking care of stroke patients. Specifically, it will explore how these caregivers perceive pain, the severity of any jaw-related issues they may have (known as temporomandibular disorders), and the health of their spine. Understanding these factors is important because caregivers often experience physical and emotional stress while providing care.

If you are a volunteer caregiver aged between 65 and 74 years old or between 25 and 66 years old, you could be eligible to participate. However, you should be able to speak, read, and write in Turkish. Participants in the trial can expect to share their experiences and possibly undergo some assessments related to pain and physical health. The goal is to gain insights that could help improve the well-being of caregivers in similar situations.
