About this study

Official title: The Effect of Intradialytic Resistance Exercises Using Resistance Bands With Exercise Physiologist Consultation on the Physical Function of People Undergoing Hemodialysis: a Proof of Concept Study

The investigators intend to recruit 50 patients into an intradialytic exercise study that will measure the impact of resistance bands exercises under the guidance of an exercise physiologist on the physical function of hemodialysis patients.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study will be to test the feasibility and efficacy of a 3 month exercise physiologist consultation program. Specifically, the investigator's aims will be to:

  1. Test the feasibility of a 3-month exercise physiologist led program
  2. Measure the effect of an exercise physiologist collaboration and intradialytic exercise on the physical function of HD patients using the 30 second STS test, handgrip strength test [required for frailty scale], 8-foot TUG test and patient physical activity based off of the Low Physical Activity Questionnaire.

What participants receive

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

  • Exercise Plan using resistance bandsOther

    Exercise under the guidance of an exercise physiologist using elastic resistance bands and weekly meeting with an exercise physiologist for 12 weeks

  • Modified Fried Frailty ScaleDiagnostic test

    Patients will be screened for frailty pre and post with sit-to-stand test, timed up and go test, handgrip strength test and administered the low physical activity questionnaire. These components together consist of the Modified Fried Frailty Index.

Study groups in NCT03944824
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Exercise (Intervention) ArmExperimentalThe 25 patients in this arm will receive an interventional exercise plan using resistance bands and once weekly visits from an exercise physiologist while on dialysis for 12 weeks. They will undergo a frailty screening using a Modified Fried Frailty Scale at the beginning and end of the trial to include: Timed up and Go test, Sit-to-Stand Test, Handgrip Strength Test, Low physical activity questionnaire.
Receives: Other: Exercise Plan using resistance bands; Diagnostic Test: Modified Fried Frailty Scale
ControlPlacebo comparatorThe 25 patients in the control arm will not receive an interventional exercise plan or visits from an exercise physiologist while on dialysis for 12 weeks. They will undergo a frailty screening using a Modified Fried Frailty Scale at the beginning and end of the trial to include: Timed up and Go test, Sit-to-Stand Test, Handgrip Strength Test, Low physical activity questionnaire.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Modified Fried Frailty Scale

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of Patient Adherence to Exercise Regimen

    Adherence calculated as the total number of self-reported exercise sessions attempted by the patient when EP not present divided by the total number of hemodialysis sessions.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Rate of Adverse Events Secondary to Exercises

    Adverse events defined as any injury, impairment or medical condition that was directly or suspected to be due to performing the prescribed exercise. This information will be collected from the patient at the weekly meeting with the EPs.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in Sit-To-Stand Test

    Change in physical function as measured by the 30 second sit to stand test (STS)

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Change in Handgrip Strength Test

    Change in handgrip strength following the 12 week intervention as measured by a handgrip dynanometer

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Change in Timed Up and Go Test

    Change in 8 foot timed up and go test (TUG).

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise Plan using resistance bands and Modified Fried Frailty Scale in people with End Stage Renal Failure on Dialysis and Frail Elderly Syndrome, run by Satellite Healthcare at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2019. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Rate of Patient Adherence to Exercise Regimen (time frame: 12 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03944824, which also lists 14 linked publications.

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 23 Sep 2019.
