Trial summary

Dialysis patients usually have peripheral muscle weakness due to metabolic disturbances (increased protein catabolism) and fatigue. This muscle weakness may decrease functional capacity and quality of life. It also serves to increase cardiovascular risk factors in these end stage renal disease patients.

About this study

Official title: Phase 1 RCT of Progressive Resistance Training on Small Solute Clearance, Functional Capacity and Quality of Life in Intradialysis Patients

Dialysis patients usually have peripheral muscle weakness due to metabolic disturbances (increased protein catabolism) and fatigue. This muscle weakness may decrease functional capacity and quality of life. It also serves to increase cardiovascular risk factors in these end stage renal disease patients. Peripheral muscle strength training shall combat physical inactivity during dialysis. In the investigators trial, the investigators hypothesis that peripheral muscle training might regulate protein catabolic rate,renal functions, cardiovascular risk factors, improve functional capacity and quality of life in endstage renal disease patients undergoing dialysis.

Read the detailed description

End stage renal failure patients undergoing dialysis have profound muscle wasting, reduced functional capacity and quality of life due to uremia, steroids, frequent dialysis and fatigue. During dialysis, physical inactivity further deteriorates the patient's functional capacity. Aerobic or strength training may combat this physical inactivity. It may also improve the functional capacity and quality of life. Recent studies have claimed the benefits of resistance exercises in improving functional capacity. But they have not documented effects on kidney function (electrolyte and urea kinetics) and muscle wasting (protein catabolic rate). In our trial, we attempt to study the effects of resistance training in improvement of renal function and muscle wasting apart from functional capacity and quality of life in dialysis patients

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Progressive Resistance Exercise TrainingBehavioural

    Also called Strength Training

    Progressive Resistance Exercise Training thrice a week for 12 weeks. For first two weeks, 60% of 5 repetition maximum, progressing at 5% of 5 repetition maximum each week reaching upto 110% of 5 Repetition maximum at the end of 12 weeks

  • Unstructured Nonprogressive resistance exerciseBehavioural

    Also called Non progressive strength training

    Unstructured Resistance Exercise 30 minutes a day, thrice a week for 12 weeks. For 12 weeks, 20% 5 repetition maximum (which will not induce training effect and any physiological responses)and free range of motion exercises with no progression.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Progressive Resistance Exercise Training and Unstructured Nonprogressive resistance exercise in people with Dialysis and End Stage Renal Disease, run by Sikkim Manipal University at 1 site in India.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in India. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Serum and Urea biochemistry - electrolytes (Na, K+), serum albumin, inflammatory markers, urea kinetics, protein catabolic rate (time frame: Bimonthly). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Sep 2013.
