Active exercise for hemodialysis patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a program of regular, active exercise can help people on maintenance hemodialysis (a type of dialysis for kidney failure) feel better and improve their health. It's a chance to add gentle, supervised movement to your routine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been on dialysis for at least 3 months, going 3 times a week for 3-4 hours each time.
- Your dialysis is working well (a measure called Kt/V is above 1.2).
- You are generally healthy, without serious infections, cancer, or major heart problems.
- You can exercise regularly without issues in your joints, muscles, or blood vessels.
- You are willing to follow the exercise program and sign a consent form.

This trial tests if doing exercises while on hemodialysis can help people with end-stage kidney disease. It is for patients aged 50-60 who have been on dialysis for at least 3 months.
This study tests whether doing gentle exercise during your dialysis session can improve your health, help you cope better with your illness, and make you feel more positive about exercise. You'll be randomly assigned to either do the exercise during dialysis or receive usual care.
This trial tests if doing aerobic exercise during your regular dialysis sessions can help chronic kidney patients. If you are on hemodialysis, are between 20 and 65, and have a body mass index between 21 and 29.9, this study may be right for you.
This study tests whether aerobic exercise during dialysis sessions improves your health. If you join, you would do light exercises while receiving dialysis treatment, and the researchers will see if it helps you feel stronger or more energetic.
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 study tests whether adding exercise during your dialysis sessions can improve your physical fitness, body composition, and survival. If you are on hemodialysis and meet the health criteria, you would either exercise while on the machine or receive standard care.
