Whole-body electrical stimulation for chronic kidney disease
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if whole-body electrical stimulation can help people with chronic kidney disease improve their physical function. It is designed for those who can walk at least 300 meters in six minutes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease for at least 3 months and are in stage 3 or 4 (eGFR between 15 and 59 mL/min/1.73m²).
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You can walk at least 300 meters in six minutes without stopping.

This study tests whether whole-body electrical stimulation (light electrical pulses sent through pads on your skin) can help people with severe COPD feel better and move more easily. It is for people with advanced COPD who can still walk.
This study tests a device that gently stimulates a nerve in your ear to see if it can help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The device is non-invasive and may improve how your body handles kidney-related issues.
This study tests whether a special electrical stimulation treatment to the soles of the feet during dialysis can improve balance and walking in people with diabetes who have nerve damage in the feet. If it works, it may help reduce fall risk and improve mobility.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device can help improve leg strength and walking in older adults living at home. If you are between 65 and 75 years old and can walk with or without a cane or walker, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a home-based program using electrical stimulation to help people with long-term stroke improve walking and leg movement. If you qualify, you may use the device and a smartphone app at home with guidance from the study team.
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program can help people with chronic kidney disease and peripheral artery disease walk better and feel stronger. It aims to improve mobility and quality of life.
