Effect of an Exercise Rehabilitation Program on Symptoms in Hemodialysis
Effect of an Exercise Rehabilitation Program on Symptom Burden and Quality of Life in Hemodialysis: A Randomized Controlled Study
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Individuals with end-stage kidney disease requiring HD suffer from multiple symptoms, which have limited effective treatments. Symptom burden, the combined impact of number and severity of symptoms, negatively impacts functional status and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in HD. Small interventional trials suggest exercise can mitigate specific individual symptoms, but impact of exercise on overall symptom burden in HD is unknown. Dialysis patients have identified improving symptom burden and HRQOL as research priorities. We propose the first randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigating the effect of exercise rehabilitation on symptom burden in individuals on HD.
Hypothesis: In individuals on HD, participation in a 26-week exercise rehabilitation (rehab) program will reduce symptom burden and improve HRQOL, resulting in reduced disability and improved long-term clinical outcomes as compared with standard care.
Study Design: Single-centre RCT with one-to-one parallel design, allocation concealment and assessor blinding
Study Population: Adults receiving chronic in-centre HD for > 3 months with at least one dialysis-related symptom; n=150
Intervention: Standard care plus 26-week structured rehab program (lifestyle education, resistance exercise and cycling during HD).
Control: Standard care (baseline exercise counseling)
Outcomes measured at baseline, 12, 26 and 52 weeks.
Data Analysis: Will be performed on an intention to treat, available case basis with t-tests or Mann Whitney U for continuous outcomes, as per data distribution and Chi square tests for categorical outcomes. Mixed effects modeling will account for repeated outcome measures over time. Poisson regression will be performed for hospitalization analysis.
Anticipated Outcomes: Mean symptom burden severity score will decrease by 20% from baseline in the intervention group at 12 weeks. Due to sustained physical activity in the intervention group, symptom burden will remain lower in this group at 6 months. In contrast, the control group will see no improvement in symptom burden from baseline.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Exercise Rehabilitation
Participants will receive baseline exercise counselling as per Standard Care group. Participants will then participate in a 26-week exercise rehabilitation program incorporating 3 components:
|
This intervention will consist of lifestyle education, home-based resistance exercise and stationary cycling during hemodialysis sessions.
Duration of the intervention will be 26 weeks
|
No Intervention: Standard Care
Participants will receive one exercise counseling session as part of their baseline assessment.
Participants in the control group will not undergo any other exercise counseling or formal exercise intervention, but will not be prohibited from participating in exercise outside of the study protocol.
