NCT ID NCT07454577

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

Summary

This study tested whether a 12-week nurse-led program could help people on hemodialysis feel better and function better. 220 patients were split into two groups: one got the extra program during dialysis sessions, and the other got standard care. The program included light exercise, sleep tips, and emotional support. Researchers checked progress at 12 weeks and 6 months.

What this could lead to
