This study compares two non-medication techniques—foot reflexology (a type of massage) and progressive muscle relaxation (tensing and releasing muscle groups)—to see which better reduces tiredness in people on hemodialysis. Both approaches are gentle and may help you feel less fatigued during and between dialysis sessions.
This study tests whether a special relaxation program, based on your body's natural sleep-wake rhythm, can help hemodialysis patients sleep better. It compares two groups to see which one gets more benefit.
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 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.
