Summary

This study will test whether a 16-week Pilates exercise program can reduce restless leg syndrome, improve physical function, and boost self-perception in 100 older adults (65+) who are on maintenance hemodialysis. Participants will do supervised resistance exercises two to three times a week. The main goal is to see if symptoms of restless legs get better.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pilates exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to reduce restless leg symptoms and improve daily function for older adults on dialysis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with no blinding, so results may be influenced by placebo effects. The exercises require commitment and may not suit everyone.
