NCT06604221

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an intradialytic resistance exercise intervention works to reduce the symptom burden in older maintenance hemodialysis patients. It will also learn about safety of the intradialytic resistance exercise intervention program. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. 1.Does intradialytic resistance exercise effectively improve the number, frequency, and severity of symptoms in older patients?
  2. 2.What adverse events may occur among older dialysis patients during exercise?
  3. 3.Take an intradialytic resistance exercise intervention program developed through joint decision-making by rehabilitation experts, dialysis center physicians, nurses, and patients, conducted three times a week for 20 minutes each session, over a duration of three months.
  4. 4.Visit the hospital a monthly for texts and examinations.
  5. 5.Keep a diary of the types and frequency of adverse events during and after the exercise sessions.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Dialysis Symptom Index

    Kidney failure-related symptoms were assessed every month using the dialysis symptom index (DSI), a previously validated questionnaire Through this questionnaire, patients indicated the presence of 30 symptoms in the past month, resulting in a total sum score for symptom number ranging from 0 to 30. Additionally, for each symptom present, patients rated symptom burden on a five-point Likert scale, ranging from one for "not at all" to five for "very much" burdensome. Absent symptoms were assigned a score of zero, resulting in an overall symptom burden score ranging from zero to 150, with higher scores indicating larger burden.

  • 30 Seconds Sit To Stand Test

    From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks

  • Short Physical Performance Battery

    From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks

Resistance Exercise Intervention Group
Routine careBEHAVIORAL

1.Pre-dialysis Assessment: 1. Vital Signs: Monitor blood pressure, heart rate, temperature. 2. Access Care: Check the vascular access site for signs of infection and patency. 2.During Dialysis: (1)Monitoring: Continuous vital signs and machine settings monitoring. (2)Fluid Management: Control fluid removal based on pre-dialysis weight. 3.Post-dialysis Care: 1. Observation: Monitor for complications like hypotension, cramps, or bleeding. 2. Weight Check: Weigh post-dialysis to verify fluid removal. 4.Education and Support: (1)Diet: Educate on dietary restrictions (potassium, phosphorus, fluids). (2)Medications: Advise on medication adjustments. 5.Psychosocial Support: (1)Provide emotional support and counseling.
