Hand exercise training for moderate chronic kidney disease
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple hand exercise routine can help people with moderate kidney disease. You'll do handgrip exercises at home, and researchers will see if it improves your kidney health and overall strength.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3a or 4, meaning your kidneys are moderately damaged.
- You are between 45 and 85 years old.
- You are not a regular exerciser (you currently exercise less than 20 minutes, twice a week).
- Your kidney function has been stable (not dropped more than 20% in the last 3 months).
- You are able to do handgrip exercises (squeezing a small device with your hand).

This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help older adults with chronic kidney disease improve their physical function and stay active. You have to be able to do exercise and not be on dialysis.
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.
This study tests whether training your breathing muscles can improve health in people with chronic kidney disease (stage 3–4). It may help how your body handles daily activity and circulation-related measurements, compared with usual care.
This Phase 2 study tests how engaging in supervised exercise affects the body’s blood-vessel responses in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who don’t exercise regularly. It may help researchers understand whether exercise could be beneficial for CKD-related health changes.
This study tests how the body’s blood-pressure control responds to exercise in people with chronic kidney disease (and some transplant recipients), compared with people without kidney disease. It may help researchers learn safer ways to exercise and manage blood pressure for people with kidney disease.
