Study on fatigue after dialysis in kidney patients
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how tired patients feel after dialysis and what factors might cause that tiredness. It uses two simple scales to measure fatigue, which could help improve care for people on regular hemodialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a simple program that combines muscle relaxation exercises and walking to help reduce fatigue in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. You'll receive text messages to guide you and track your progress.
This study compares two non-medication techniques—foot reflexology (a type of massage) and progressive muscle relaxation (tensing and releasing muscle groups)—to see which better reduces tiredness in people on hemodialysis. Both approaches are gentle and may help you feel less fatigued during and between dialysis sessions.
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 study looks at how blood flow to the kidneys changes during hemodialysis in people who have just started dialysis. It may help doctors understand how to better protect kidney function.
This study looks at heart and bone health in people on dialysis compared to healthy volunteers. If you are on dialysis for at least 6 months, or if you are healthy with no kidney issues, you may be able to join.
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.
