Exercise During Dialysis for Better Sleep and Mood
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether gentle exercise during your regular dialysis sessions can improve sleep quality, reduce feelings of depression, and lower anxiety. If you are on dialysis and are generally physically able to move your legs, this may be a safe and helpful program for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are able to exercise during dialysis (no major physical or mental health issues causing problems).
- You are not taking any medications for depression or anxiety (psychotropic drugs) currently.
- You do not have severe heart disease, anemia (too low red blood cells), or advanced joint pain in your legs.
