NCT ID NCT07398196

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether doing art therapy during hemodialysis sessions can reduce common symptoms like fatigue and discomfort, and improve patients' sense of spiritual well-being. Sixty adults on dialysis took part; half received at least 30 minutes of art therapy per session while the other half received usual care. The goal was to see if a simple, non-drug activity could make dialysis feel less burdensome.
