Reflexology Versus Progressive Muscle Relaxation for Fatigue in Hemodialysis Patients (PMR-HD)
Comparative Efficacy of Reflexology and Progressive Muscle Relaxation in Mitigating Fatigue Among Hemodialysis Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of reflexology and progressive muscle relaxation in reducing fatigue among hemodialysis patients and to determine which intervention provides greater relief from fatigue.
The main question it aims to answer is:
Is there any difference in effectiveness between reflexology and progressive muscle relaxation techniques in reducing fatigue levels among patients undergoing hemodialysis?
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups:
Group 1: 20 participants will receive reflexology therapy 3 times per week for 12 weeks.
Group 2: 20 participants will receive progressive muscle relaxation 3 times per week for 12 weeks.
Group 3: 20 participants will be a control group.
Fatigue and sleep quality will be measured before and after the intervention using:
Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)
This study aims to offer a safe, low-cost, non-pharmacological method that can help hemodialysis patients reduce fatigue and improve sleep quality.

The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a questionnaire used to assess sleep quality.
It includes 19 items organized into 7 components, which generate a global score ranging from 0 to 21.
Higher scores indicate poorer sleep quality.
