CRD SUMMARY:

The authors concluded that educational and support programs for caregivers were more effective than usual care in reducing the burden of caregivers of patients with dementia. The authors' conclusions may be overstated, due to considerable heterogeneity between study results and a lack of study details, making it difficult to assess the appropriateness of the synthesis.
