Relaxation training for people on dialysis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a relaxation technique called autogenic training (a type of self-guided relaxation) can help people on dialysis feel better. It focuses on stress reduction, which may improve your overall well-being.

This study tests whether doing progressive relaxation exercises at specific times of day can improve sleep and well-being in people on hemodialysis. If you have trouble sleeping and are on dialysis, this might help you find a drug-free way to improve your rest.
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.
This study tests whether doing light resistance exercises or aerobic exercises during your dialysis sessions can help improve your blood pressure and heart health. It may help reduce the sudden drops in blood pressure that some people experience during dialysis.
This study tests if a gentle exercise program can help older adults on hemodialysis feel better, reduce restless legs, and improve daily function and self-image.
This study tests whether guided muscle relaxation exercises can reduce depression and tiredness in people undergoing hemodialysis (a blood-filtering treatment). You would learn and practice simple exercises to relax your muscles, which may help improve your mood and energy.
