Exercise study for muscle wasting in dialysis patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a supervised exercise program can help people on dialysis who have muscle wasting (uremic sarcopenia). It aims to improve muscle strength, physical function, and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with sarcopenia according to Asian criteria (loss of muscle mass and strength).
- You are medically stable and able to exercise under supervision.
- You are on hemodialysis 3 times a week for at least the last 3 months.
- You have not had a heart attack or stroke in the last 3 months.
- You have no memory or thinking problems that would make it hard to follow exercise instructions.
- You have no severe joint or limb problems that prevent you from doing standard exercises.

This trial tests whether a combination of a vitamin D-like drug (idecalcitol), whey protein powder, and a structured exercise program can help rebuild muscle strength and mass in people with sarcopenia. It lasts about 6 months.
This study tests whether exercise during hemodialysis can improve muscle oxygen levels and how well dialysis works. It is for people who have been on dialysis for at least a year and have muscle loss (sarcopenia).
This trial is for adults with chronic kidney disease and low muscle strength (sarcopenia). It aims to find ways to improve outcomes, especially if you have a higher risk of complications.
This study tests if gentle exercise during your dialysis sessions can help maintain muscle strength and improve sleep. If you are on chronic hemodialysis, at least 40 years old, and able to do simple exercises safely, you may be eligible.
This trial tests a combined exercise and nutrition program to help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It aims to improve muscle strength and function, especially for those with metabolic syndrome.
This trial studies whether taking essential amino acids along with exercise can improve muscle function in people receiving hemodialysis. It may help you build or maintain strength and mobility.
