About this study

Official title: Effect of Active Exercise on Nutritional and Inflammatory Status, Muscle Metabolism and Cardiovascular Events in Maintenance Haemodialysis Patients

The goal of this clinical trial is to discuss the effects of physical activity on nutrition, inflammation, muscle metabolism, and the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with maintenance haemodialysis. The main question it aims to answer is: can exercise improve nutritional and inflammatory status, enhance muscle strength, and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with maintenance haemodialysis.

Researchers will compared active exercise group to conventional treatment group to see the impact of exercise on maintenance haemodialysis patients.

Participants will:

Choose low-intensity aerobic exercise workouts such as walking (no less than 8,000 steps per day) or jogging, swimming, Tai Chi, etc., according to their individual conditions, for no less than 30 minutes at a time, at least 3 times per week, and the intensity of the exercise should be based on an RPE score of 12 to 16.

Read the detailed description

RPE: Rating of Perceived Exertion. RPE scores of 12 to 16 indicate the need for increased respiratory rate and depth during exercise, the ability to engage in conversational exchanges, light sweating, and a feeling of slight fatigue without reaching a state of exhaustion.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
exercise groupExperimentalpatients were asked to choose walking (no less than 8000 steps per day) or low-intensity aerobic exercise such as jogging, swimming, Tai Chi, etc., according to their own conditions, for no less than 30 minutes each time, at least 3 times per week, and the intensity of the exercise was determined by the need to increase the frequency and depth of breathing during the exercise, and it was appropriate to feel slightly tired but not exhausted (RPE score 12-16). Exercise intensity should be at least 3 times a week, and the exercise intensity should be at a level that requires an increase in breathing rate and depth, allowing for dialogue and communication, slight sweating, and a feeling of being slightly tired but not exhausted (RPE score of 12 to 16).
Receives: Behavioral: exercise
Control groupNo interventiononly receive conventional MHD treatment, no requirement for exercise.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mid-upper arm circumference of the non-internal fistula side(AC)

    Measure the circumference of the non-internal fistula at the midpoint of the upper arm using a soft tape measure, in centimetres

    Measured: Baseline and half year, 1 year

  2. triceps skin-fold thickness of the non-internal fistula side(TSF)

    Measurement of the skinfold at the midpoint of the upper arm on the non-internal fistula side by using a skinfold thickness gauge, in centimetres

    Measured: Baseline and half year, 1 year

  3. upper arm muscle circumference of the non-internal fistula side(AMC)

    AMC(cm)= AC(cm) - 3.14 x TSF(cm)

    Measured: Baseline and half year, 1 year

  4. calf circumference

    Measure the calf circumference using a soft tape measure, in centimetres

    Measured: Baseline and half year, 1 year

  5. grip strength

    Using a grip strength meter, with the patient seated and gripping the handle firmly with the palm of the non-internal fistulae side, measure twice and record the maximum grip strength value

    Measured: Baseline and half year, 1 year

  6. Incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events

    Cardiovascular events include: heart failure episodes, sustained arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular events include: cerebral haemorrhage, cerebral infarction, transient ischaemic attack.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. prealbumin

    laboratory measurement indicators:prealbumin(g/L)

    Measured: Baseline and half year, 1 year

  2. albumin

    laboratory measurement indicators:albumin(g/L)

    Measured: Baseline and half year, 1 year

  3. haemoglobin

    laboratory measurement indicators:haemoglobin(g/L)

    Measured: Baseline and half year, 1 year

  4. blood lipids

    laboratory measurement indicators:triglycerides, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein

    Measured: Baseline and half year, 1 year

  5. c-reactive protein

    laboratory measurement indicators:c-reactive protein(mg/L)

    Measured: Baseline and half year, 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing exercise in people with Renal Dialysis, run by Yunfeng Xia at 1 site in China.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Aug 2024. 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 China. 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.

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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mid-upper arm circumference of the non-internal fistula side(AC) (time frame: Baseline and half year, 1 year). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Aug 2024.
