Virtual reality cycling during dialysis: a new way to boost electrolyte balance?
NCT ID NCT07316725
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether doing virtual reality exercise during dialysis can help patients with end-stage kidney disease keep their electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus) in a healthier range. Forty adults on regular dialysis will either do 30 minutes of VR cycling and stretching plus standard care, or just standard care. Researchers will measure electrolyte levels, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and walking ability.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Virtual reality exercise (cycling and stretching during dialysis)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a safe, engaging way to help dialysis patients improve electrolyte balance and physical function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants. The exercise may not significantly change electrolyte levels, and some patients may find it uncomfortable or difficult to do during dialysis.
