ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a therapeutic exercise program designed to help patients with chronic kidney disease feel better during their hemodialysis sessions. The goal is to improve their physical abilities, reduce feelings of depression, and lessen anxiety. The trial is currently active but not recruiting new participants at this time.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be 18 years or older and have been receiving hemodialysis treatment for at least three months. They also need to be stable during their sessions, meaning they should be able to tolerate the treatment well. However, people with certain health issues, like serious heart problems or uncontrolled diabetes, cannot participate. Those who join can expect to engage in a structured exercise program while receiving their hemodialysis treatment, which may help them feel better overall.
