Spa treatment shows promise for chronic kidney and urinary conditions
NCT ID NCT07435844
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a 21-day spa program—including mineral water baths, exercise, and diet—can improve kidney function and reduce symptoms in 150 adults aged 40-70 with chronic kidney or urinary tract diseases. Participants receive standard spa care at a resort in the Czech Republic, and their health is measured before and after treatment. The goal is to see if this natural approach can ease symptoms and improve quality of life.
