Exercise with blood flow restriction for healthy people and CKD patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if combining exercise with blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is safe and helpful for healthy adults and people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It aims to improve strength and health without heavy weights.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 85 years old.
- For the healthy group: you have no known kidney problems.
- For the CKD group: your kidney function (eGFR) has been below 90 for over 3 months and your condition is stable.
- You do not have severe uncontrolled health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol that are not well managed.
- You do not have serious heart or lung disease, a recent heart attack, or a heart pacemaker.
- You are not pregnant, not prone to easy bruising, and have not had a recent infection or cancer.

This study tests whether a special type of cycling exercise (eccentric cycling) is safe and helpful for people with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) or who are on dialysis. The goal is to improve fitness and overall health.
This trial studies whether high-intensity physical exercise helps people with chronic kidney disease, including those on dialysis. It aims to improve health and physical function.
This Phase 2 study tests how engaging in supervised exercise affects the body’s blood-vessel responses in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who don’t exercise regularly. It may help researchers understand whether exercise could be beneficial for CKD-related health changes.
This study tests whether doing gentle exercise during dialysis with a special cuff that partly limits blood flow can help people on dialysis get stronger and feel better. It might be a good fit if you are on dialysis, not already exercising regularly, and have no serious health conditions that make exercise risky.
This study tests whether exercising with mild arm or leg pressure (to reduce blood flow slightly) helps people with heart failure improve their strength and heart function. It combines this technique with either aerobic exercise like walking or resistance exercises like light weights.
This study compares how your heart and lungs respond to two different types of exercise: one with a special cuff that slightly limits blood flow and one without. It may help if you are healthy or have COPD.
