Chronic pain therapy in hemodialysis patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a certain kind of therapy can help people on dialysis who have chronic pain. If you have kidney failure and have been on hemodialysis for at least 3 months, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have end-stage kidney disease (kidney failure).
- You have been on hemodialysis for at least 3 months and are medically stable.
- You can walk a few steps, even if you need a cane or walker.
- You have not had a heart attack or unstable chest pain in the last 6 weeks.
- You have not had a stroke or mini-stroke in the last 6 months, or if you did, it did not leave lasting trouble walking.

This study tests whether taking a very high dose of vitamin D3 can reduce moderate to severe chronic pain in people on hemodialysis. It may help by improving vitamin D-related pathways that could affect pain, but you must also meet specific health and testing requirements.
This study compares doing physical therapy during your dialysis session versus right before it. It looks at which timing might work better for people on hemodialysis.
This trial studies whether high-intensity physical exercise helps people with chronic kidney disease, including those on dialysis. It aims to improve health and physical function.
This study tests if applying cold therapy (cryotherapy) to the access site before needle insertion can reduce pain during hemodialysis. If you are on dialysis and have an arteriovenous fistula, this might help make your treatment more comfortable.
This trial studies whether supervised physical exercise during hemodialysis can improve quality of life and health. It is for adults with stage 5 chronic kidney disease who have been on dialysis for at least 3 months and can safely do an exercise program.
This trial tests whether magnetic stimulation can help relieve low back pain and help maintain muscle mass in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. It is for those who have moderate to severe low back pain and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
