Dialysis patients get a boost: nurse-led program targets sleep, mood, and mobility
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 mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nurse-led multidimensional program (functional training, sleep hygiene, psychological support)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could become a standard way to help dialysis patients feel better and function more independently.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed trial in Egypt, so results may not apply to other settings. The program adds extra time during dialysis, which may not be feasible everywhere.
