Summary

This study tests whether doing progressive relaxation exercises at times matched to each patient's natural circadian rhythm can help manage symptoms, improve sleep quality, increase comfort, and boost mental well-being in people receiving hemodialysis. Researchers will enroll 75 adults on dialysis and randomly assign them to either the relaxation program or usual care. The trial uses questionnaires to measure changes in symptoms, sleep, comfort, and mental health over 8 weeks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Progressive relaxation exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help hemodialysis patients sleep better, feel more comfortable, and improve their mental well-being.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 75 participants. The exercises may not provide significant benefits, and results may not apply to all dialysis patients.
