Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients with end-stage renal disease who have been on hemodialysis for more than three months and are clinically stable.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with musculoskeletal disorders that could affect their physical performance may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study aims to explore the connections between kinesiophobia, pain levels, balance, physical performance, quality of life, and mental health in patients undergoing hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease. By assessing these factors, the study seeks to understand how fear of movement may influence overall health and well-being in this patient population. Participants must have been receiving hemodialysis for over three months and be clinically stable to qualify for the study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management strategies for enhancing quality of life in hemodialysis patients.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific relationship between kinesiophobia and these factors in hemodialysis patients may be novel, similar studies in other populations have shown promising results.
