Brain and thinking health in hemodialysis patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood vessel problems in the brain and thinking (cognition) are related in people who are on long-term hemodialysis for kidney failure. By joining, you help doctors learn how to better protect brain health in dialysis patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 85 years old.
- You have been on maintenance hemodialysis for more than 3 months.
- You do not have a severe infection or severe anemia (hemoglobin below 60).
- You do not have severe mental illness, metabolic disease, or immune system disease.
- You do not have abnormal liver function.

This study tests a new medicine called AV-001 to see if it can protect the brain from damage caused by hemodialysis. If you qualify, you may help find a way to reduce thinking and memory problems linked to dialysis.
This study tests whether a virtual reality program can help improve thinking and memory problems often seen in people on dialysis. If you are on dialysis and can use a VR headset, you may be able to join and potentially benefit from this new approach.
This study tests whether adding a special blood-cleaning treatment called hemoperfusion to regular dialysis can improve health outcomes for people with kidney failure. It aims to see if this extra treatment helps patients feel better and live longer.
This trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodiafiltration and standard hemodialysis) to see which works better for older adults with kidney failure. You may be eligible if you are over 84, have been on dialysis for at least 3 months, and are generally healthy enough to participate.
This trial studies how treating severe kidney injury in the ICU may affect patients’ brain and thinking function over time. It compares measurements of brain activity and function after starting kidney replacement therapy.
This study looks at how the electrical activity of the heart (which controls your heartbeat) changes during and after your regular dialysis sessions. The goal is to see if dialysis affects your heart's rhythm, which can help doctors monitor and prevent heart problems in people on dialysis.
