Summary

This study tests whether applying magnetic stimulation can help relieve low back pain and maintain muscle mass in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. Researchers will measure pain levels, physical function, and quality of life in 18 adult participants. The goal is to find a safe, non-drug way to improve comfort and strength in 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: magnetic stimulation device
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to reduce back pain and help maintain muscle strength in people on dialysis.
What could go wrong: This is a very small study (18 people) with no comparison group, so results may not be reliable or apply to others. The effect on muscle mass is also uncertain.
