Joint exercises and relaxation for hemodialysis patients
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing simple joint exercises and a relaxation technique (called Benson relaxation) during hemodialysis can improve how well the dialysis works, help you stick to your treatment plan, and improve your quality of life.

This study tests whether moderate exercise during your dialysis sessions can improve your physical health, help you cope with being ill, and change how you think about the benefits and challenges of exercise. If you're on maintenance dialysis, you could feel stronger and more in control of your health.
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 different lengths of exercise during dialysis sessions to see if they improve dialysis effectiveness, reduce fatigue and depression, and boost strength and quality of life. It could help you feel better and get more out of your dialysis treatments.
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 whether a regular exercise program can improve health and well-being for people on hemodialysis (kidney dialysis). If you join, you may get guidance on safe exercises that could help you feel stronger and more energetic.
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.
