Summary

This study tests whether doing progressive relaxation exercises at times matched to each patient's natural circadian rhythm can help manage symptoms, improve sleep quality, increase comfort, and boost mental well-being in people receiving hemodialysis. Researchers will enroll 75 adults on dialysis and randomly assign them to either the relaxation program or usual care. The trial uses questionnaires to measure changes in symptoms, sleep, comfort, and mental health over 8 weeks.
