ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the factors that cause fatigue in patients who are undergoing hemodialysis, a treatment for kidney failure. Researchers want to understand how these factors affect both the physical and emotional well-being of patients. By identifying what contributes to this fatigue, they hope to develop better ways to help patients feel less tired and improve their overall quality of life.

To participate in the trial, you need to be an adult who has been on hemodialysis for at least three months. Unfortunately, those under 18 years old, patients with certain recent kidney issues, or those who cannot provide informed consent due to cognitive challenges will not be eligible. If you do join the study, you can expect to share your experiences related to fatigue, which may help shape future treatments for many patients facing similar challenges. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to bring important insights into how we can better support those on hemodialysis.
