What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of Buddhist walking meditation on patients undergoing hemodialysis who experience restless leg syndrome. A total of 40 participants will be enrolled and divided into two groups: one group will engage in a 30-minute Buddhist walking meditation session three times a week for 12 weeks, while the control group will not receive this intervention. Each meditation session will include 5 minutes of stretching exercises before and after to serve as warm-up and cool-down. The aim is to assess whether this meditation practice can alleviate symptoms of restless leg syndrome in this specific patient population.
