Handgrip exercise study for people with chronic kidney disease
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if a simple handgrip exercise program can help people with moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD). You do not need to be active now, and the exercise can be done at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3a or 4, meaning your kidney function is moderately reduced.
- You are between 45 and 85 years old.
- You currently exercise less than 20 minutes twice a week.
- Your kidney function has been stable over the past 3 months.
- You are willing and able to follow the handgrip exercise plan.
- You do not have severe kidney disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or other serious health conditions listed below.

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 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 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 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 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.
