Breathing muscle training for kidney dialysis patients
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests if breathing exercises can improve quality of life for people on kidney dialysis. You would do special breathing training using a device called a Breath Booster to help strengthen your breathing muscles.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether aerobic exercise during dialysis sessions improves your health. If you join, you would do light exercises while receiving dialysis treatment, and the researchers will see if it helps you feel stronger or more energetic.
This study tests whether a breathing exercise you do during dialysis can help you feel stronger and do more daily activities. The exercise is simple and done while you are already in the dialysis chair.
This trial uses a simple breath test to check how well dialysis is working for people with kidney failure. It may replace frequent blood draws and make treatment monitoring easier.
This trial tests whether doing resistance or aerobic exercise during dialysis can help prevent blood pressure drops in people on hemodialysis. It may help you if you often feel dizzy or lightheaded during treatment.
This study compares two types of exercise (aerobic vs. resistance training) done during hemodialysis sessions, and looks at how they affect a blood test related to heart disease risk.
This trial combines breathing biofeedback with strength training to help people with chronic kidney disease. It tests whether adding breathing exercises to standard strengthening improves health and well-being.
