Fight Fatigue: muscle relaxation and walking for dialysis patients
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and have been on dialysis for at least 3 months.
- You should feel tired or fatigued (score of 4 or more out of 10) in the past week.
- You need to be able to stand and walk about one block (100 yards) without help.
- You must have a cell phone that can receive text messages.
- You cannot have serious heart or lung problems, or a leg amputation without a prosthetic, that would prevent walking.

This study tests whether a targeted exercise program can help people who are very weak due to kidney disease. If you are on dialysis, have advanced kidney disease, or have had a kidney transplant, this program may improve your strength and daily function.
This study tests whether foot reflexology (a type of foot massage) or progressive muscle relaxation (a technique where you tense and relax muscles) can help reduce fatigue in people on hemodialysis. It aims to find a non-drug way to improve tiredness.
This trial studies whether doing a combination exercise program can reduce “fatigability,” meaning feeling unusually tired or weak during activity, in Veterans with moderate-to-advanced chronic kidney disease. It also compares results with people without kidney disease and checks for safety, especially for heart and joint health.
This study tests whether a relaxation technique called autogenic training (a type of self-guided relaxation) can help people on dialysis feel better. It focuses on stress reduction, which may improve your overall well-being.
This study tests different lengths of exercise during dialysis sessions to see if they improve dialysis effectiveness, reduce fatigue and depression, and boost strength and quality of life. It could help you feel better and get more out of your dialysis treatments.
This study tests whether doing aerobic exercise during dialysis sessions can help people with chronic kidney disease feel better and improve their health. If you are on dialysis and are able to exercise, you might benefit from this program.
