Squeeze your way to better dialysis: handgrip training boosts fistula success
NCT ID NCT04034433
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether doing handgrip exercises before and after surgery can improve the size and function of dialysis fistulas in people with advanced kidney disease. 40 patients participated, and the main goal was to see if the fistula diameter increased. The approach is simple and non-invasive, aiming to reduce the high failure rate of these essential blood access points.
