What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers test whether adding inspiratory muscle training to a walking program helps adults on hemodialysis who also have atrial fibrillation. Participants do breathing exercises through a mouthpiece and walk for six minutes, while the study tracks heart rate, blood pressure, kidney lab values, walking distance, and quality of life. The trial compares combined training against breathing training alone to see which approach works better for this group.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
inspiratory muscle training combined with moderate intensity aerobic exercise
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give dialysis patients with atrial fibrillation a low-cost exercise routine to improve their breathing, walking distance, and heart measures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with 45 people, so results may not apply broadly. Exercise during dialysis carries risks like fatigue, dizziness, or blood pressure changes, and the training may not improve kidney or heart outcomes.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 45 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Mar 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor
