Exercise during dialysis for muscle health
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether exercise during hemodialysis can improve muscle oxygen levels and how well dialysis works. It is for people who have been on dialysis for at least a year and have muscle loss (sarcopenia).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have end-stage kidney disease and have been on maintenance hemodialysis for at least one year.
- You have been diagnosed with sarcopenia (a condition of muscle loss) by your doctor.
- You can read and write and follow instructions.
- You are willing to join the study and sign a consent form.
- You do not have any bone or nerve problems that make exercise difficult, and your blood pressure and blood sugar are well-controlled.

This study tests if gentle exercise during your dialysis sessions can help maintain muscle strength and improve sleep. If you are on chronic hemodialysis, at least 40 years old, and able to do simple exercises safely, you may be eligible.
This trial tests if a supervised exercise program can help people on dialysis who have muscle wasting (uremic sarcopenia). It aims to improve muscle strength, physical function, and quality of life.
This trial studies whether taking essential amino acids along with exercise can improve muscle function in people receiving hemodialysis. It may help you build or maintain strength and mobility.
This trial is for adults with chronic kidney disease and low muscle strength (sarcopenia). It aims to find ways to improve outcomes, especially if you have a higher risk of complications.
This trial tests whether a drug called roxadustat can help treat muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people on hemodialysis. It aims to see if improving anemia also strengthens muscles.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise and nutrition program can improve muscle health in older adults with (pre)sarcopenia, especially those who may have slower walking or reduced strength. It also checks safety by excluding people with unstable health problems and several specific medical conditions.
