New study tests two methods to prevent falls in kidney dialysis patients
NCT ID NCT07380191
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two treatments—Plazepod and electrical stimulation—to see which better reduces fall risk in people on hemodialysis. Sixty men aged 40 to 50 with end-stage kidney disease will be followed for changes in balance, leg strength, and mobility. The goal is to find a safe, effective way to help these patients stay steady on their feet.
