What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether a specific breathing exercise, done during hemodialysis sessions, can reduce the occurrence of intradialytic hypotension—a sudden drop in blood pressure that can cause dizziness, nausea, and cramps. Sixty-six adults on regular dialysis are randomly assigned to either perform the breathing exercise during 12 sessions over four weeks or receive routine care. Researchers monitor blood pressure changes and track how often hypotension occurs, aiming to see if this simple, drug-free intervention can improve hemodynamic stability.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A guided breathing exercise performed during hemodialysis sessions
What this could lead to
If effective, this drug-free technique could offer a simple, low-cost way to reduce dangerous blood pressure drops during dialysis, improving patient safety and comfort.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and results may not apply to all dialysis patients. The exercise may be difficult for some to perform, and its benefits remain unproven until data are analyzed.
